Moody’s new tool to help insurers make better investment decisions

Moody’s Analytics has launched a new asset-liability management (ALM) solution to help insurers better evaluate their investment strategies across a range of business metrics.

RiskIntegrity Investment Insight, a software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution, combines data and modeling capabilities from across Moody’s Analytics to build liability-aware investment portfolios. Using the tool, ALM and investment teams can develop new investment strategies to enhance risk-adjusted returns, and apply filters or constraints to align with their specific objectives and risk profiles.

Moody’s said insurance companies face a variety of challenges in managing their organisation’s investment strategy including understanding the impact of alternative asset classes, reducing the operational risk of maintaining complex data and models, and adapting to regulatory change.

“Insurers are looking for control and visibility of the economic assumptions and scenarios embedded in their investment process. They need to be able to quickly assess the impact of investment decisions across a range of business metrics – economic, capital, and liquidity,” said Phil Mowbray (pictured), senior director at Moody’s Analytics.

“RiskIntegrity Investment Insight will help insurers to perform strategic asset allocation, make better investment decisions, and take more control of their investment process.”
