Investors have filed a class action against AIG Advisor Group and its parent, American International Group, for failing to tell customers that sales personnel were pressured to sell certain mutual funds that came with financial incentives and rewards to AIG and its staff. According to the complaint, filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, AIG pushed the mutual fund families of such firms as AIG Sun America, AIM, AllianceBernstein, American Funds, American Skandia, Fidelity Investments, Franklin Templeton, Oppenheimer, Scudder and Van Kampen, among others. In a statement, the law firm of Schiffrin & Barroway, representing purchasers of Oppenheimer mutual funds, said, “Instead of offering fair, honest and unbiased recommendations to investors, the AIG Financial Advisors gave pre-determined recommendations, pushing clients into a pre-selected limited number of mutual funds” so that the company could “reap millions of dollars in kickbacks from Shelf-Space Funds.”
