Richard Scott - AIG

  • Richard Scott, Senior Vice President for Investment and Head of Fixed Income, the Chief Investment Officer for the Insurance Company portfolios

I want to touch a little bit on the market for RMBS, I think there's been a huge amount of confusion out there.

  • The first and most important point I want to make is that within this portfolio, except for the very modest holdings of about $235 million in the RMBS CDO space, these are direct securitizations we own of the underlying hard asset, i.e. the loan itself.
  • These are not intermediated through a CDO type structure, these are direct pools, if you will, of ultimate mortgage loans

2007

AIG’s senior vice president of investments, Richard Scott, in whose purview securities lending fell, echoed this optimism several months later:

  • One of the clear opportunities here is that if you believe, as we do, that the AAA sector of the RMBS market is money good and if you could truly buy those securities at significant discounts, there’s a huge opportunity.
  • And there’s a bit of resistance to catching the falling knife.
  • But on the other hand, we’ve got a long-term view.
  • And if we can buy that paper at meaningful discounts to par and have high confidence that we’re going to get paid back over the next three or four years, we should be buying a lot of that.153 (p26)
