As continental Europe emerges from one of the sharpest economic retractions in living memory, German, Swiss, and Austrian based insurance groups are looking to take the opportunity to re-build and re-allocate portfolios for a new era of market growth, fiscal, and monetary policy approaches. With central banks carefully watching inflation rates, and social groups increasingly protesting with their wallets, new investment opportunities and risks are emerging that DACH based insurers need to carefully manage through sophisticated asset allocation strategies.

The second annual Insurance Asset Management, DACH report, brings together the views of heads of investment, finance and treasury, plus heads of investment risk and operations at DACH based insurance groups. The report will explore through detailed white papers, insightful interview articles, and summaries of discussion based panel debates how those charged with maximising returns whilst carefully controlling investment risks are taking meaningful decisions to influence the outcome of portfolio returns on balance sheet and general account assets.
