MUMBAI (Reuters) - U.S. insurer American International Group <AIG.N> is in talks with potential buyers to sell its mutual funds business in India for roughly $10 million, according to a report in the Mint newspaper citing three unnamed people familiar with the matter.

The newspaper said Bank of America Merrill Lynch <BAC.N> had been appointed to arrange a sale of AIG Global Investment Group Mutual Fund, which has about 10.2 billion rupees ($230 million) under management.

A sale would value the unit at roughly 4-5 percent of its assets under management, according to the report.

The report said both AIG and Bank of America Merrill Lynch declined to comment.
