About Insurance Asset News

Insurance Asset News (IAN) is a specialist news service covering how insurers and pension risk transfer providers invest. Our coverage spans asset–liability management and capital, fixed income, private credit and private markets, Solvency II and Solvency UK regulation, bulk annuities and longevity risk transfer, ESG and sustainability, and the people and firms shaping insurance investment.

Our readers are chief investment officers, portfolio managers, ALM and capital teams, consultants, asset managers and advisers working in or with the insurance industry. We aim to tell them, quickly and accurately, what has happened and why it matters to an insurance balance sheet.
