Hello everyone – welcome to our first edition of the Invesco Insurance Insights newsletter for 2025 – where we illustrate the process of reviewing a Strategic Asset Allocation – incorporating the latest Capital Markets Assumptions. The main elements we look at – what have the last 12 months brought in terms of changing expectations, are the portfolios still able to deliver on long-term prospects, and finally consider adjustments that could enhance the profile of those portfolios.
While insurance portfolios tend to be designed for the long-term, it remains important to assess them frequently to ensure they are still appropriate and have the capability to deliver the desired results.
In this newsletter, we’ve looked at the impact of adding certain asset classes - including private markets. And, of course, it remains important to have a deep and thorough understanding of any such new asset classes, and to ensure that portfolio parameters remain well managed and contained under various scenarios and in accordance with an insurer’s risk appetite.
As always, we hope that this topic will be of benefit to you in your on-going assessment, construction, and management of portfolios, and we’ll be more than happy to discuss any of these aspects further.
Thank you.
