A complimentary webinar for insurance investment professionals

As market volatility spikes during record-low yields, insurers have to look further down the curve. This introduces particular risks, causing some investors to rethink their allocations. How might insurers assess and quantify duration, liquidity, and penalty risks while optimizing yield amid challenging market conditions?

Join us as industry experts discuss:

• How insurers' asset allocation has evolved over time and what risks might be lurking in their portfolios today

• Practical ways to quantify risk and apply it in the search for yield

• Anticipating shifts in the risk profiles of portfolios even when allocations remain the same

Speakers include:

• Lynn Bachstetter, Senior Director, Global Head of Insurance Solutions, S&P Global Market Intelligence

• Scott Jeffreys, Senior Insurance Strategist, Insurance Solutions, Macquarie Asset Management

• Brian D. Luke, CFA, Global Head of Fixed Income Indices, S&P Dow Jones Indices

• Marc A. Mercurio, CFA, Senior Manager, Insurance Solutions, Macquarie Asset Management

• Raghu Ramachandran, Head of Insurance Asset Channel, S&P Dow Jones indices
