The expertise of our team of insurance solutions engineers includes producing tailor-made analyses and solutions, in the context of a fully customised approach, in response to the needs of insurance companies, including asset / liability management (ALM), hedging, regulatory constraints and capital use and optimisation.
- Assess the optimal fixed-income and equity investment universe to achieve defined objectives
- Examine the potential added value of alternative investments
- Plan a potential allocation trajectory towards reaching objectives
- Analyse potential flows and how they will be impacted by different market scenarios
- Anticipate, from an opprtunities vs risks perspective, the impact of regulatory changes, or modifications to the insurer's own objectives (non-financial / ALM / SCR budget/ IFRS9...).
The desired result can be assessed in several ways, including accounting yield, solvency and other ratios, capital gains or losses and cashflows.
