In this episode of the InsuranceAUM.com Podcast, host Stewart Foley is joined by Scott Kurland, Managing Director at SS&C Technologies, for an insightful discussion on a new concept they call "negative yield." They delve into how insurers can avoid this negative yield by adopting a flexible co-sourcing investment operating model. Scott explains how co-sourcing allows insurance companies to maintain control over core operations while outsourcing specific investment accounting and administrative tasks to a trusted partner like SS&C.
They explore the growing trend toward private credit and structured investments, and how these asset classes can be cumbersome to manage internally. Scott details how co-sourcing can help insurers efficiently handle complex investment portfolios, such as residential whole loans, without overwhelming internal teams. By leveraging cloud-based technology and specialized expertise, insurers can optimize their investment returns and maintain a competitive edge.
The conversation also touches on the importance of transparency, the use of AI in investment accounting, and how co-sourcing can be tailored to meet the specific needs of different insurers. Whether you're a CIO or a CRO considering co-sourcing, this episode offers valuable insights into how this model can enhance your investment operations.
