AIG Dismisses Advisers
Monday, Oct 05,2009, 4:57:12 PM Click:
No, AIG's restructuring is hardly complete, but new CEO Robert Benmosche has his own vision for the company, Bloomberg reported citing sources close to the company. As a result, Benmosche let go consulting firm MicKinsey & Co.
When Benmosche first took the reins at AIG he said he would slow down the shedding of assets, refusing to sell off pieces at barrel-bin prices. He also said he wanted to cut the IPO fees he paid to banks like Morgan Stanley(MS:NYSE), Goldman Sachs(GS:NYSE) and JP Morgan Chase(JPM:NYSE).
McKinsey started its review of the flailing insurer back in March under former CEO Edward Liddy. The plan was to create a multi-year roadmap called Project Destiny.
AIG is in the process of attempting to pay back its $85 billion government loan by trimming fat wherever possible, including divesting assets.
Shares of the company were down nearly 2% to $43.28 in early trading.
