2025 was another year where doomsayers got it very wrong. After the new White House introduced sweeping tariffs in the spring, many pundits and economists predicted a hard landing for the economy: a melt-up in prices, due to tariffs, and a meltdown in the business environment, as companies grappled with increased costs.

The APAC insurers we spoke to say they are burdened by manual processes and legacy technology, which are hampering effective moves up the risk curve. The vast majority (85%) of respondents of our APAC Insurance Survey expect the risk profile of their investment portfolios to rise over the next two years.

Our latest APAC Insurance Report found that only 17% of insurers in APAC say their ALM systems can “very easily” cope with diversification and new instruments.
Across APAC, executives managing $3.8 trillion in assets face a perfect storm: slowing growth, tightening regulations, and legacy systems that can’t keep pace.

Explore the evolution of the alternatives market for insurers, drawing on CWAN’s proprietary database to reveal real-time allocation trends.
The chart-busting growth of alternative assets over the past decade has prompted many asset managers to increase their allocations to a wide range of private credit, equity, real estate, and hedge fund strategies. Multiple surveys and reports, including our recent Rise of Alternatives analysis, have commented on this phenomenon. But few (if any) have had access to CWAN’s database of nearly 400 insurers representing $4.4 trillion in combined AUM (as of August 2025).
Investment operations have long been burdened by inefficiencies—teams tied up in manual reconciliations, tight monthly close deadlines, and stitching reports across systems. At the pace of today’s financial markets, these challenges aren’t just inconvenient—they’re costly in time and error risk. And markets aren’t slowing down.
