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.

Adopting a dynamic approach to cash management is a necessary step to better bottom lines. CWAN data suggests dozens, if not hundreds, of firms on our platform could achieve better portfolio performance by paying more attention to shifts in monetary policy and the bond market.
As the number of private equity-backed insurance companies has steadily increased in the past decade, so has the need for a solution that fits the specific needs of these organizations.
