Seeing the Big Picture: Managing Total Investment Risk in the General Account and DB Pension Plan

Insurers may be missing opportunities to improve net income, pension plan funding and their bottom line because of a blind spot. These companies may not see the full investment risk of their general account and defined benefit (DB) pension plan separate account. Missing the big picture may weaken enterprise risk management and lead to inefficiencies in investment strategy, possibly affecting the insurer’s balance sheet. Conning has developed a solution, based on our deep understanding of insurance and pension asset management, aimed at providing insurers a comprehensive view of general account and DB assets.
