A considered approach
Schroders Insurance Asset Management
Paul Forshaw, head of insurance asset management at Schroders,
talked to Bermuda Re about trends in the marketplace and Schroders’ ambitions.
How long has Schroders been managing outsourced assets for insurance companies, and what is your experience with reinsurers in particular?
We have been managing insurance assets for clients since 1972 and now have around $36 billion of insurance client assets under management worldwide, for clients in the US, Bermuda, Europe and Asia, so we have a significant insurance pedigree.
The sudden and urgent demand for new ideas, and indeed fresh faces, in the wake of the credit crunch and its impact on insurer portfolios gave us a new opportunity to engage with the insurance industry. We established the insurance asset management group in 2007, as a hub of insurance knowledge and expertise within the firm, recognising the growing interest from insurance companies in a more sophisticated investment and risk dialogue with their asset manager.
We have won more than 25 new insurance clients since then, including many in the reinsurance sector where we have invested a considerable amount of time and energy to understand the regulatory and accounting requirements necessary to inform our investment and service proposition.
