The world's largest insurance group was forced to take an $11 billion writedown last year on its weakened credit derivatives portfolio, resulting in a fourth-quarter loss of $5.3 billion - its biggest ever.

Adding to its problems: A legal battle continues against former CEO Hank Greenberg and six other former executives, who are accused of misappropriating $20 billion in company stock.

For the year, the company's earnings plunged 56% to $6.2 billion.
