North American insurers and reinsurers may take a more aggressive position in investing company assets over the next year.
Consultants at the investment arm of Towers Watson & Company, New York (NYSE:TW), have made that prediction in a summary of results from a survey of 38 large insurance company investment managers conducted in May.
About 46% of the participants said they plan on using more aggressive investment strategies, and only 9% said they plan on using more conservative strategies, the consultants say.
But the consultants found that the investment managers are still leery of risk.
