Earlier this week, we had the pleasure of hosting Ethan Mollick at Liberty Mutual Investments' annual senior leadership meeting. Ethan and our Chief Investment Officer Vlad Barbalat had a thought-provoking conversation around #AI. We discussed its impact on society and the investments space, as well as acknowledged there’s still so much to figure out as we harness the technology.

Jatin Salhotra, Managing Director in our Strategy & Asset Allocation group, recently participated in a panel at the Neuberger Berman 2024 Insurance Investment Leaders’ Roundtable in NYC, alongside Jack Bishop, Stephen Smith, and Clark Jeffries. The topic? The convergence of managers and insurers, asset allocation trends, and regulatory shifts that have been hot topics across the insurance industry. Jatin’s key takeaway? Various factors – including ownership structure, regulatory jurisdiction, underlying liabilities, and portfolio construction techniques – interact in complex ways leading to diverse outcomes across Property & Casualty (P&C), Reinsurance, and Life & Annuity. This only re-emphasizes the criticality of individualized strategies in the ever-evolving insurance industry. Learn more about what we do: https://lnkd.in/ehfv2MsE

Eric Charron (Eric C.), Head of Trading – Global Fixed Income, recently spoke on a panel at Fixed Income Leaders Connect alongside Robert Fink, Coalition Greenwich (a division of CRISIL), and Tim Gigliotti, Nuveen, a TIAA company. The group discussed improving data aggregation and infrastructure to better support traders and improve performance. Eric’s perspective on the event? “The conference really showcased the challenges facing the evolution of the buy side trading desk and the importance of pre and post trade information. It was great to hear insights from industry peers about challenges they’re facing as well.” #FILS Fixed Income Leaders Summit
