2ND DECEMBER 2021 | CONVENE, 530 5TH AVENUE, NEW YORK, NY 10036
CONNECTING HEADS OF INSURANCE, FINANCE, OPERATIONS AND RISK
Like many institutional investors, insurers are facing the challenge of low-yielding and highly-price assets against the backdrop of record-breaking fiscal and monetary stimulus. The increased threat of inflation and doubts over the strength of the post-pandemic recovery have left many portfolio managers walking a fine line between increasing risk in order to meet return targets and playing it safe while missing out on a bullish market.
Insurance Investor Live | North America 2021 presents insightful and engaging panels and presentations from chief investment officers and portfolio managers representing insurers from across North America to discuss the methodology and strategy that their firms are taking to navigate these uncertain markets. These investment professionals will provide food for thought across an array of asset classes, as well as dissect the macroeconomic factors that are driving the direction of the market.
