General and mutual insurance investment officers, but also with-profits and unit-linked insurers, are faced with an ongoing requirement for liquidity in their assets. The challenge presents a struggle to justify long term capital lock-up, but also the ancillary challenges of transparency, J-curve, and fees inherent within closed-ended fund vehicles. Surely, and even with highly attractive potential returns, illiquid securities will largely remain out of their reach?

Maybe not.

Join us at the Accessing illiquids: Avoiding long-term capital lock-ups while harvesting the illiquidity premium webinar on 20th May to hear from leading general and mutual insurance investment officers as they discuss their views on the inherent challenges of illiquid asset, as well as the emerging potential solutions which could facilitate access to illiquid asset opportunities and new sources of return.

Discussion points include:

  • An interrogation of illiquid assets potential role as part of a portfolio for insurers who require liquidity
  • A re-examination of the challenges to accessing illiquid market opportunities
  • Exploring possible solutions, if they really solve the problem, and understanding what the potential limitations are
