The Insurance Investment Outsourcing Report
Letter from the Editors
Despite headwinds, insurance asset managers achieved a creditable performance in holding onto and building their asset levels. This year's Insurance Investment Outsourcing Report (IIOR) shows 43 managers with non-affiliated general account assets totaling $1.68 trillion, as of Dec. 31, 2015.
For the second year running, and providing one-third of the non-affiliated global total, the top three managers were BlackRock, Deutsche AM and Goldman Sachs AM. First-time participant Amundi took fourth place, ahead of traditional contenders (in top ten ranking order) Wellington, Guggenheim, PIMCO, J.P. Morgan, Delaware and Conning.
When managers are ranked geographically under North America and ex-North America categories, interesting changes take place in the leadership positions. North America is headed by Guggenheim, and GR-NEAM, Western and Wells climb into the top 10. Schroders, Insight Investment, and AXA join Amundi in the ex-North America top 10.
In terms of winners and losers year-to-year, Goldman Sachs was a standout winner, gaining $27.3bn on a global basis, with a nice mix of N. America ($16.1bn) and ex-N. America ($11.2bn). Wells ($7.1bn) and Wellington ($6.6bn) also achieved significant AUM growth. Other managers show flat or a decline in total non-affiliated AUM over the past year, which is indicative of the headwinds third party managers face. Insurance-centric third party investment managers continue to win new mandates and grow client relationships, but also experience asset losses due to insurance company mergers, acquisitions and insourcing.
Taking the 43 managers as a whole, a comparison with the $1.40 trillion total in 2014 would be misleading, because twelve managers did not report year-earlier figures. A more accurate assessment can be obtained from the 31 participants who reported for both years. Their 2015 total was $1.38 trillion, indicating a year-to-year decline of 1.2%. Therefore, aside from just a handful of significant winners and losers, most managers experienced only modest changes in general account assets under management -an ironic, but reasonably satisfying, finish to a volatile twelve months!
It is still too early to make a confident forecast about outsourced insurance asset growth in 2016. Managers continue to adjust constructively to the prolonged low yield environment by bringing new product and strategy solutions to the industry. In addition, managers have an increasingly global environment in which to compete for business, as confirmed by the AUM numbers in this report. No less than 44% of general account assets are ex-N. America, a percentage that will undoubtedly increase.
Ten years ago, as of Dec. 31, 2005, a predecessor survey to the IIOR reported forty-one managers handling $634.2bn in non-affiliated general account assets. The 2-1/2 times advance in the past decade to $1.68 trillion is a reminder that many insurers have increasingly expressed confidence in working with external managers for quite some time, and this long-term will undoubtedly continue. As for the managers themselves, they stay loyal to this business. For example, the top three in 2005 were Deutsche, BlackRock and Conning, and eight out of the top 10 ten years ago were still there in 2015.

The Insurance Investment Outsourcing Report
Please note that IIOR (Insurance Investment Outsourcing Report) was expanded this year to include affiliated GA assets and variable annuity/unit-linked assets, which are covered in our Category 4 rankings. These rankings are useful because they indicate the scale and its associated benefits that third party managers offer insurers. Investment managers' non-affiliated GA AUM managed in each specific investment strategy is ranked in Category 5. This will be useful when seeking managers having a specific expertise. Inside this year's report, along with the major rankings, you will find detailed one-page manager profiles with answers to the following questions: client numbers, types, sizes, regional breakouts and featured products. We have tried to cover the bases.
Thank you, Alex McCallum David Holmes Stewart Foley
