Watch a video interview with Jon Wagenseller, a senior member of our insurance asset management practice. He shares his views on the search for yield, strategies for coping with interest rate and inflation changes, and the possibility of an economic double dip.
As Wagenseller explains, insurance clients have shifted from a more defensive mode in 2008 and 2009 to a more normal operating environment. Still, with the market volatility of recent years fresh on insurers' minds, he suggests that the focus should be on melding reserve-asset strategies designed to fund insurers' various business liabilities with surplus strategies that can grow their overall assets over time, all the while protecting against events like we saw in 2008 and 2009.
