A Note from the Author
How Can Third-Party Asset Managers Win More Mandates Among European Insurers?
European insurers’ outsourcing of investment management to non-affiliated asset managers continues to grow, particularly for core fixed income. On average, 81% of insurers plan to increase their outsourcing of core fixed income to external asset managers over the next three to five years.
Traditional fixed-income asset managers will find the most opportunities in Switzerland, Italy, and Germany, where a higher proportion of insurers plan to appoint external managers for investment-grade corporate bonds and government bonds than in other markets.Insurers are also increasingly eyeing private assets, primarily real estate debt. More than half of the Italian, UK, and German insurers that plan to increase their allocations to real estate debt over the next 12 months will do so by hiring external managers. Although insurers typically do not have any issues with insurer-owned asset managers when allocating to private assets, most still prefer global independent asset managers.
Use Cerulli’s latest report, European Insurance Industry 2023: Meeting Investment Needs, to understand the addressable market for European general account assets. Identify the expected outsourcing opportunities for fixed-income and private market investments, and the non-affiliated asset managers that insurers believe provide best value.
