Through close collaboration with our clients, we seek to understand their unique objectives and constraints to provide holistic portfolio solutions that address their strategic needs, challenges and opportunities. MIM’s Insurance Advisory & Solutions can provide the following services to its insurance clients:

Strategic asset allocation (SAA)

We can help establish an SAA framework, incorporating an insurer’s business profile and objectives, as well as our views on the macroeconomic outlook, asset sector fundamentals and relative value, to inform your portfolio allocation and investment strategy.

Portfolio optimization

Our team of actuaries and insurance specialists seek to develop an optimal asset allocation that seeks to maximize return objectives relative to risk and other portfolio constraints. Our portfolio optimization tool can be utilized for global insurance clients on both in-force portfolios and/or new money investments. We have global experience with optimizations having implemented customized portfolio solutions for affiliated and unaffiliated insurance clients in various regulatory capital regimes.

Product pricing / new money portfolio construction

This includes providing guidance on investment assumptions and portfolio construction and their potential impact on pricing hurdles, including the return on investment (ROI), while seeking to ensure a proper balance between your risk target, business, earnings and capital objectives.
