EQuilibrium

View insurance findings

Reframing the future

How insurers are rethinking markets, reallocating portfolios and responsibly investing amid dramatic shifts in the macroeconomic and geopolitical landscape

Insurance companies are reframing the future and preparing their portfolios for a market regime that differs dramatically from recent decades. For our third-annual EQuilibrium study, we surveyed 800 global institutional investors, including nearly 200 insurance companies, to uncover new insights into how they expect to achieve their investment objectives.

Strategic and tactical asset allocations are evolving, credit and duration continue to be in favor, and impact investing with balance sheet assets is here to stay.

Responsible investing incorporates Environmental Social Governance (ESG) factors that may affect exposure to issuers, sectors, industries, limiting the type and number of investment opportunities available, which could result in excluding investments that perform well.
