INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
Our first point of reference for determining investment risk appetite is the underwriting climate. When the opportunity for economic return is strong in our core underwriting functions, preservation of capital to support the insurance business is of paramount importance. When the insurance cycle turns down after a period when Amlin has generated strong capital inflows, more risk may be taken on in the investment portfolios, while carefully managing the balance of risk and reward.

After determining our risk appetite at a point in the cycle, we then use a value at risk approach to optimise asset allocation strategy.
