Insurance Risk Data has published its Insurance Investment Outsourcing Opportunities – EEA, UK Switzerland 2023 report, and will discuss the key findings at a webinar on on 13 October at 10am UK time.
At 320 pages long with 170 exhibits, the report's analysis is more extensive and it makes even more valuable data available for readers than the 2022 edition.
Data in the research is largely proprietary, and the analysis of it illuminates key 'big picture' themes of outsourcing by insurers across Europe including the UK and Switzerland, while also allowing granular examination of which CIOs are outsourcing, what they want and the reasons why.
The backbone of Insurance Investment Outsourcing Opportunities – EEA, UK Switzerland 2023 comprises in-depth details of who and to whom over 1,000 insurers across Europe outsource mandates – in 2021 to more than 800 asset managers. All parties are identified in the report.
Mandate details revealed in the report include fees, asset classes involved, volumes, terms and conditions, changes in manager and whether the manager is affiliated or independent to the insurer, and details such as general account and unit-linked size of each insurer.
There is data and thorough analysis of the number of insurers, mandates, and breadth of different managers being used, in each country.
Insurance Investment Outsourcing Opportunities – EEA, UK Switzerland 2023 has also dedicated a long chapter and exhibits to dissecting the market risk components of insurance groups using the standard formula, in 2020/2021 – where, how and why CIOs 'spent' their investment risk budgets during the past two years, and into Q1 2022.
The market risk breakdown is shown by country/region, by general account size, and by type of insurance group, along with the underlying data – Insurance Risk Data believes this is the first time such commercially valuable insight has been publicly available.
The report also examines the general account investments of insurers across the EEA, segmented by five general account size bands. This facilitates far more targeted benchmarking by CIOs, and for asset managers to prepare better-informed analysis and discussions with prospects and existing clients. Each cohort's investment pattern is shown in a chart, and analysed in narrative. The chapter also reveals the annual investment risk appetite - again by five general account size cohorts, in France, the UK, Germany and Italy - since 2016. Similar analysis in previous reports means readers now have a longer time series to analyse.
Insurance Investment Outsourcing Opportunities – EEA, UK Switzerland 2023 research report also examines, in dedicated chapters, the topics of Solvency II reform and how asset managers can best help CIO be ready for change; what CIOs want from managers to combat inflation; the evolution of insurers' investment fees and costs; and what CIOs want from securitisation investments.
