What Insurers are Looking for in Third-Party Asset Managers
A webinar hosted by FundFire and sponsored by Clearwater Analytics
Before the Great Financial Crisis, insurers were generally known to favor the safest investments. Most managed their assets in-house or used a generalist asset manager. In recent years, however, low yields have forced insurers to look into other asset classes, providing new opportunities for the third-party asset managers with whom they increasingly work.
Today, 86% of all insurers report using outside managers for at least part of their portfolio. Many chose managers with knowledge, expertise, and technology specific to insurers.
This webcast explores:
- Opportunities for asset managers looking to win insurers’ business
- How asset managers can benefit from this evolving investment behavior
- What they need to do to be successful in this client segment
