SAA will discuss, “A.I.: Who, What, Where, When, Why?” This quick-hitting segment will review SAA’s view of the state of AI for insurer investments, as well as what insurers/pools should be mindful of in the early stages (i.e. how it’s used by managers, the hype cycle, resources, etc.).
Making the Juice Worth the Squeeze
Jeffrey Berman, CFA, Head of North America Distribution, Insight Investment
In the prior search for yield, insurers were exploring risk asset classes they wouldn’t have previously considered. Insight Investments will discuss how the script has flipped in the fixed income space, as well as where in the risk asset space insurers are finding the most benefits.
