The purchaser of the portfolio was not disclosed.

In a statement, AIG said the sale of the portfolio is a “significant milestone” in the ongoing process of winding down the financial products business

AIGFP recently sold an interest in Tenaska Marketing Ventures, a stake in three operating Spanish solar photovoltaic power plants, and an interest in two volumetric production payment transactions.
