The tool seeks to combine data and modeling capabilities across Moody’s Analytics to support insurers in building liability-aware investment portfolios. Also, they will be able to effectively judge the performance of investment strategies across a range of business metrics.
Further, the tool is expected to help counter hurdles faced by insurance companies, i.e., managing their organization’s investment strategy, reducing the operational risk of maintaining complex data and models, and adapting to regulatory change. It is also expected to generate user-friendly analytics and reports on demand.
New investment strategies, aligned to specific objectives and risk profiles, can also be developed with this tool. (See Moody’s stock charts on TipRanks)
The Senior Director at Moody’s Analytics, Phil Mowbray, said, “Insurers are looking for control and visibility of the economic assumptions and scenarios embedded in their investment process. They need to be able to quickly assess the impact of investment decisions across a range of business metrics – economic, capital, and liquidity. RiskIntegrity Investment Insight will help insurers to perform strategic asset allocation, make better investment decisions, and take more control of their investment process.”
Price Target
Earlier this month, UBS analyst Alex Kramm maintained a Hold rating on Moody’s and raised the price target to $412 from $392. The new price target implies 5% upside potential from current level.
