Seminar 'Balance Sheet Management & Asset Management for insurers' - General

As an insurer, how do you manage the friction between returns and balance sheet volatility? How do you extend the different balance sheet management methods?

In what ways do you hedge the curve? Where do you take interest rate risk? How does this affect the volatility of your solvency ratio and your fiscal position?

To what extent do sustainability objectives have an impact on your investment policy? How to deal with climate risks? Can you fully achieve your net zero goals by investing exclusively in private markets? What other asset classes can achieve these goals?

How attractive are private markets for insurers? How is private debt assessed under IFRS and Solvency II, and how do you assess this category in internal models?
