American Airlines, Fort Worth, Texas, hired two managers for its $4.4 billion defined benefit plan to increase its equity exposure, especially overseas. Nancy Eckl, vice president of AMR Investment Services, said Hotchkis and Wiley was hired to run $95 million in non-U.S. equities and Gulfstream Global Investors was picked to run $48 million in emerging markets equities. Both firms already run part of the company's pilot supplemental retirement plan; they were chosen based on the company's familiarity with them.
