The Insurance Asset Management Mid-Year Insights report showcases the best discussions and keynotes from the Insurance Investor Live Spring event that took place in Chicago earlier this year.

The report covers multiple viewpoints on risk, strategy, and technology, including macroeconomic volatility, the commercial loan mortgages market, and active versus passive strategies in portfolio management as well as many more.

It brings together insights from Chief Investment Officers, Directors, and Portfolio Managers that represent insurers from across North America to discuss the methodology and strategy that their organisations are taking to navigate these uncertain markets.
