Insurance
We help insurers optimise their investment portfolio to achieve their asset yield, capital efficiency and responsible investment objectives and support their reporting requirements
Insurers have unique investment needs. On the one hand they need to generate sufficient returns on their assets to meet long-term commitments to policyholders. On the other, taking investment risk needs to be balanced against regulatory requirements and the potential for balance sheet volatility.
At Aberdeen Standard Investments, we’ve been helping insurers manage these challenges for almost 200 years. We provide tailored solutions as well as access to a range of strategies and asset classes that aim to enhance the risk-adjusted return on a portfolio. Plus we provide a complete service to meet reporting and fiduciary requirements. This includes complete investment outsourcing where required.
