It would be interesting to know how AIG's insurance defines lost retirement funds under its protective policy; since, most retirement funds are invested in the stock market, which move up and down during normal economic cycles. This would make the definition of one's retirement funds a kind of moving target.
Perhaps the policy would guarantee a fixed monthly amount over a fixed number of years, and to the extent an individual's retirement fund did not provide this minimum amount, the insurance would kick in, but how would this differ form any normal annuity plan purchased from a insurance or investment company?
