Solutions to help insurers optimise their portfolios and meet their needs.
We help insurers optimise their investment portfolios to achieve their asset yield, capital efficiency, and responsible investment objectives. We also support insurers’ reporting requirements.
Insurers have unique investment needs. They need to generate sufficient returns on their assets to meet long-term commitments to policyholders. Due to stringent regulation, investment risk also needs to be balanced against solvency capital requirements and the potential for balance sheet volatility.
We’ve been helping insurers manage challenges for almost 200 years. We offer a range of strategies and asset classes that aim to enhance a portfolio’s risk-adjusted return. We also provide a comprehensive service to meet reporting and fiduciary requirements, including complete investment outsourcing.
Our insurance team is focused on managing relationships and developing innovative asset solutions for our clients. The team includes investment actuaries with in-depth knowledge of regulation, risk and actuarial matters. With extensive global insurance investment experience and expertise, the team works closely with our clients to build lasting solutions that deliver effective outcomes.
We understand that insurers have specific investment objectives. To help them meet these, we offer a comprehensive suite of investment solutions. This includes pooled products across a wide range of asset classes, bespoke solutions tailored to individual client requirements, liability-aware mandates and fiduciary responsibilities within well-defined parameters.
Our solutions are supported by a broad spectrum of global investment capabilities, including traditional and non-traditional asset classes. These capabilities are backed up by our investment philosophy, disciplined risk management, experienced teams and shared commitment to a culture of excellence.
We understand the regulatory importance of providing detailed and timely reports. Our reporting capabilities include risk and performance attribution, fund and investment reporting and asset data reporting.
In addition to this, we offer fund accounting and valuation services, transaction reporting, trade management, asset servicing and unit pricing.
The value of investments, and the income from them, can go down as well as up and an investor may get back less than the amount invested. Past performance is not a guide to future results.
