Global Insurance Solutions

We have a rich insurance heritage and a long history partnering with insurance clients dating back to 1934. The vast majority of the insurance assets we manage represent unique strategic partnerships with involvement extending well beyond asset class relationships.

We benefit from deep insurance investment expertise with a focus on each individual strategic partnership. This is an important differentiator as this brings together a diverse range of styles, experiences and skill sets to deliver a fully bespoke insurance solution.

At Columbia Threadneedle we now have the benefit of a combined, research intense Responsible Investment capability, with a team of over 40 dedicated professionals. This team supports ESG integration across the investment value proposition, from research, through to active ownership and managing specialist ESG investment strategies. We have one of the longest tenures in the market with 35 years managing ESG investment strategies, and 23 years of company engagement and voting.

Our experienced, multi-disciplinary insurance solutions team is supported by Columbia Threadneedle’s global investment platform, encompassing 650+ investment professionals and a dedicated insurance client team with over 11 years history. We have a deep understanding of insurance clients’ specific requirements and are commited to embedding Columbia Threadneedle’s executive leadership team into each partnership, ensuring delivery of our clients’ changing business objectives, and ultimately help our clients become more competitive and deliver on policy holder value.

We believe that we are well positioned to help insurance clients as our strategic partner meet their investment needs and reduce costs with competitive commercial terms set at levels which align and support the future growth of their business.

Investment risks

 

Past performance is not a guide to future performance. Your capital is at risk. The value of investments and income derived from them can go down as well as up as a result of market or currency movements and investors may get back less than the original amount invested. Not all investment ideas are suitable for all investors.

 

No capital guarantee – Positive returns are not guaranteed and no form of capital protection applies.

 

Exchange rate risk – Where investments are in assets that are denominated in multiple currencies, or currencies other than your own, changes in exchange rates may affect the value of the investments.

 

Economic and regulatory risks – Economic and regulatory risks can be significant. These factors can affect liquidity, settlement and asset values. Any such event can have a negative effect on the value of your investment.

 

Sustainable outcomes – Investing in companies which deliver sustainable outcomes requires adhering to a set of Sustainable Investment Guidelines. The Guidelines will affect exposure of an investment solution or portfolio to certain sectors, which may impact the performance of the solution or portfolio positively or negatively relative to a benchmark or other funds without such restrictions.

 

For professional and / or qualified investors only. Not to be used with or passed on to retail clients.
