This report is published by the Insurance Asset ARE INSURANCE COMPANIES INCREASING Outsourcing Exchange and Insurance AUM. View USE OF NON-AFFILIATED INVESTMENT MANAGERS? full report at: https://assetoutsourcingexchange. Yes, increasingly so! But you wouldn’t know it from a glance at year-to-year AUM numbers. com/exchange/home/research Forty-six investment managers post non-affiliated general account (GA) assets totaling $2.16 trillion on a global basis as of year-end 2018. A “same sample” of investment managers reporting non-affiliated insurance AUM both this year (2018 YE) and last year (2017 YE) posts essentially flat “0%” growth in aggregate. Analysis behind the numbers reveals a “leaky bucket.” New assets are moving strongly toward third-party investment manager solutions. Insurance Asset Outsourcing Exchange’s Insurance Asset Tracker (IAT) database documents a 40% increase in new outsourced mandates in 2018 over the prior year. However, insurance company M&A takes its toll on aggregate outsourced AUM. Larger insurance companies are acquiring smaller companies in record numbers and taking large multi-sector fixed income portfolios in-house. The number of US-domiciled insurers declined 3.5% in 2018 alone.1 DO AUM RANKINGS MATTER? Yes and no. AUM scale supports investment resources and insurance-focused services and expertise. But year-to-year AUM changes of specific investment firms don’t reveal much on the surface. In addition to new accounts, asset flows and terminations, AUM changes result from obfuscations such as mergers and acquisitions on both the supply side (investment managers) and demand side (insurance companies),

  • 2019 Insurance Fact Book
    2019 Insurance Fact Book TO THE READER Imagine a world without insurance. Some might say, “So what?” or “Yes to that!” when reading the sentence above. And that’s understandable, given that often the best experience one can have with insurance is not to receive the benefits of the product at all, after a disaster or other loss. And others—who already have some understanding or even appreciation for insurance—might say it provides protection against financial aspects of a premature death, injury, loss of property, loss of earning power, legal liability or other unexpected expenses. All that is true. We are the financial first responders. But there is so much more. Insurance drives economic growth. It provides stability against risks. It encourages resilience. Recent disasters have demonstrated the vital role the industry plays in recovery—and that without insurance, the impact on individuals, businesses and communities can be devastating. As insurers, we know that even with all that we protect now, the coverage gap is still too big. We want to close that gap. That desire is reflected in changes to this year’s Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.)Insurance Fact Book. We have added new information on coastal storm surge risk and hail as well as reinsurance and the growing problem of marijuana and impaired driving. We have updated the section on litigiousness to include tort costs and compensation by state, and assignment of benefits litigation, a growing problem in Florida. As always, the book provides valuable information on: • World and U.S. catastrophes • Property/casualty and life/health insurance results and investments • Personal expenditures on auto and homeowners insurance • Major types of insurance losses, including vehicle accidents, homeowners claims, crime and workplace accidents • State auto insurance laws The I.I.I.

However, a state’s tax revenue might be up, down, or steady depending on, among other things, the prevalence of the novel coronavirus, the state’s major economic sectors, or its revenue system.
