ASSET LIABILITY OPTIMISATION

We provide quantitative asset allocation analysis to clients interested in customized liability-driven or cashflow-driven solutions, typical of insurance portfolios or pension funds with some expected inflow/outflows stream.

Rather than focusing on mark-to-market fluctuations of assets, LDI strategies hedge liability risk by matching changes in value with assets, while CDI strategies match future outflows using contractual income produced by the assets.

Specific KPIs/KRIs, as well as regulatory capital constraints, are embedded in the analysis.

Our goal

We aim to help institutional investors generate stable income while optimizing capital efficiency. That’s why we work closely with clients to develop a tailored strategy that focuses on the behaviour of the total asset portfolio, fits their organization and aims to deliver long-term value.

European regulatory expertise

Regulatory, accounting and risk management expertise is in our company DNA. This deep, specialist expertise – honed over time – ensures each of our LDI solutions is tailored for resilience and long-term value.

Unlike many managers focused on their home markets, our knowledge of insurance regulation spans all European countries. This gives us a distinct edge in an area where subtle regulatory differences are common.

Our LDI strategies: Fixed income, equity, and alternative investments

We offer fully bespoke solutions that can integrate fixed income, equities, multi-asset, alternative investments, and quantitative approaches aiming to enhance returns and resilience. Our liability-driven, cashflow-driven, and risk-controlled1 strategies are backed by advanced asset allocation and quantitative portfolio management. Our approach is underpinned by three core strategies:

  • Fixed income leadership – Our fixed income team combines macroeconomic and credit expertise with deep regulatory understanding, making sure every investment meets international standards while aiming to maximize risk-adjusted returns.

  • Equity conviction: Our equity team aims to generate positive, market-beating results over a cycle to create a buffer of unrealized gains, together with a recurring stream of income.

  • Exclusive private markets access – We offer professional investors the opportunity to invest in private markets alongside Generali Group, one of the world’s largest asset owners and a cornerstone investor for many of these strategies. With a proven track record in managing private market portfolios, our offer aims to help investors achieve their investment goals while contributing to the real economy.

1 Risk control involves implementing measures to reduce the probability or impact of potential risks. However, risks can never be fully controlled, so the sub-fund presents a risk of loss of capital. There is no guarantee that the investment objective will be reached. Investors may not get back the initial invested amount.
