Insurance Luncheon: E.R.M. & Investment Strategy

 

In the insurance industry, is there any difference in the approach to Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) between the public and private sector?

Assuming there is, how might those differences affect an organisation’s investment strategy and approach?

Gavin Pearce has worked in both the public and private sector, in life insurance and general insurance.

In this luncheon presentation, Gavin will share with us his observations and experiences, drawing out implications for:

  • Setting investment objectives
  • Capital management
  • Financial reporting
  • Asset/Liability matching
  • Other external and internal factors
