Key challenges for Bermuda re/insurers & the future of investment outsourcing

On-demand

Bermuda's CIOs are navigating a challenging landscape despite improved investment yields. Global regulators are raising concerns about illiquid investments, PE-backed ownership, and asset-heavy reinsurance treaties. This webinar will explore the impact of these pressures on re/insurers, investment outsourcing, and the scrutiny over terms and conditions, especially where owners manage general accounts.

In a moment of great change, Insurance Risk Data investigates where the sticking points lie: how regulators will act on their concerns, how heads of insurance will respond – and what it all means for how GAs are run.

Drawing on the analysis found in Insurance Risk Data 's research report, 'Insurance Investment Outsourcing Opportunities & Performance - Bermuda 2025', this webinar will provide attendees with unrivalled, proprietary insight into the key trends influencing re/insurers in Bermuda, their CIOs and their engagements with affiliated and independent asset managers.

 

Discussion points

What factors are driving, and changing, the composition of Bermuda’s general accounts, and the hiring of asset managers to help CIOs invest?

Can PE-owned re/insurers, managing their own general accounts and striking asset-heavy reinsurance deals, withstand looming regulatory actions—and what does this mean for the future of outsourcing structures and demand?

How illiquid are the investment portfolios of Bermuda’s re/insurers – and how well equipped are the groups holding illiquid assets, to handle them?

Are PE houses stripping capital out of the Bermudian re/insurers they own?

How do solvency levels of re/insurers owned by alternative asset managers compare to those owned by traditional managers or other owners—and will spare capital be used for higher investment risk?

How common are the 30% fees some managers charge for running Bermuda's general accounts, and how should asset managers negotiate fees for new outsourcing deals with re/insurers?
