Why climate risk considerations are especially relevant for buy-and-maintain portfolios
The road to impact investing – a journey for insurers
The unique climate change risks facing insurers
No industry has greater exposure to climate change risks than the insurance sector. It poses a unique threat to insurers’ assets as well as their liabilities.
Enhanced indexing solutions for insurers
Over the past decade, investors have operated a massive shift from actively managed strategies into passive ones.
Duration Times Spread: measuring credit risk
Accurately measuring credit risk is a significant challenge for credit investors. Credit volatility varies greatly over time and differs considerably between individual corporate bonds.
Buy-and-maintain credit: sustainability matters
Sustainable investing is designed to sort future-proof companies from those that are not. It is an essential aspect of successful credit portfolio management.
Enabling insurers to achieve capital-efficient returns
To achieve more capital-efficient returns, diversification and illiquidity premiums, insurers often turn to high yield markets and alternative assets. We argue factor investing in corporate bonds is an attractive alternative approach.
How factor credit strategies can support Solvency II
The Solvency II regulatory framework doesn’t have to be a burden. Our research shows how a multi-factor approach can help insurers increase their return on capital tailor their corporate bond portfolios.
Factor-based sustainable multi-asset solutions for insurers
Insurers face both rising regulatory pressure and a low-yield environment. Sustainable, factor-based portfolios are a natural solution, and these portfolios can be tailored to insurer’s objectives and constraints.
LDI (Liability Driven Investments)
Interest rate risk management: the basis of sound balance sheet management. The cornerstone of our philosophy for the matching portfolio is based on maximizing matching effectiveness and minimizing investment risk. Risk management is the basis of the matching portfolio.
Buy and Maintain: bespoke by default
A buy-and-maintain approach is strategic, but certainly not static. The strategies are fully aligned with the client’s needs.
