Over the last year, EY's investment advisory team has supported 25 clients including a broad range of insurers and asset managers.

This work has seen the team focus on over 30 individual projects, varying from modelling and valuation support, to offering ESG-focused advice, to working on ground-breaking transactions.

During this time, the investment advisory team has worked with clients to evolve new service lines, launch investment products that benefit wider society and to develop investment strategies and capabilities that distinguish them from their peers.

It is the sheer range of projects that the team has worked on with insurers to enhance their offerings that impressed the most though, work that pivoted from developing BPA-market strategies to designing comprehensive risk frameworks to ensuring portfolios remain balanced and resilient.
