long-term obligations

The asset allocation of an insurer is different from that of a traditional asset manager or private bank. On the one hand, there are the provisions imposed by the regulator and, on the other, the long-term obligations. Low yields on government bonds are also a challenge for AG Insurance, explained Olivier Colsoul (pictured), Senior Strategist at AG Insurance. This is countered by strategically increasing the equity weighting and adding alternative asset classes, he explained.
