Asset Liability Management (ALM) and Risk Management in Insurance Companies

Asset Liability Management (ALM) and Risk Management in Insurance CompaniesAsset-Liability-Management-and-Risk-Management-in-Insurance-Companies

Insurance companies employ a variety of strategies to manage the myriad of risks they face. For example, some strategies used to manage net investment spread may include strategic asset allocation and the use of derivatives within an overall internal risk management framework. Depending on the goals of the program, the interest rate sensitivities of the assets may be matched with the interest rate sensitivities of the liabilities. Or they may mismatch these sensitivities creating what is known as a gap, in an attempt to earn a higher net investment spread. Further, customer behavior and the market environment may change impacting sensitivities. Companies’ business mix, e.g., different life insurance and annuity offerings, will also play a role in managing net investment spread.

Liquidity is managed by analyzing cash flows to ensure there is cash on hand to meet ongoing obligations. This can be achieved by setting internal benchmarks and monitoring these flows on an ongoing basis. Risk-based capital will be discussed as capital plays a vital role in ALM. Asset liability management is often interwoven with risk management. Risk management may include additional metrics, such as value at risk or stress testing scenarios, and may simply be part of the ALM process.
