Description: The surge in interest rates over the past few years presents opportunities for life insurers to enhance their Asset and Liability Management (ALM) positions through asset rebalancing to narrow the duration gap and secure higher risk-adjusted yields. This webcast introduces a robust, efficient and readily-executable, liability-driven strategic asset allocation (SAA) framework and implementation considerations. At the conclusion of the webcast, attendees will learn about the key objectives and practical considerations for a successful SAA.

Description: The post COVID-19 period exhibited a fast-changing capital market with higher interest rates, uncertain monetary policies, and revaluation of asset classes. At the same time, regulators introduced changes to reward better risk management, such as the scenario-based approach for reserving under Bermuda regulatory framework. For life reinsurers, while new opportunities arising from these changes, challenges also exist to be able to adjust reinsurance portfolios and ALM strategies appropriately. A holistic modeling framework can assist companies better position themselves in front of these challenges and other potential future unknowns. In particular, a well-designed stochastic and dynamic modeling framework enables the quantifications of such probabilities and potential impacts.
