About DWS
Insurance asset management connected globally
As a pioneer in insurance asset management, DWS started working with insurance companies in 1929. Trust, knowledge and customized solutions crafted over time are what we deliver insurers.
Our global platform delivers multi-asset investment programs in an insurance context across active and passive fixed-income, equity, alternatives, cash, and sustainable strategies. It is supported by an understanding of the dynamics and complexities of insurance investing in a constrained environment that is subject to state regulations, solvency requirements, rating agency considerations, reporting and accounting standards.
The Potential Impacts of the Trump Tax Bill on Municipal Bond Investing
The bill approved by Congress on December 20, 2017, should have significant supply and demand effects on the municipal bond market, and the changes in relative value in relation to the taxable bond market will likely require insurers to reconsider their portfolio strategies in important ways.
Clarifying The Bond ETF Discussion For Insurance Investing
Bond ETFs are increasingly popular tools for insurers looking for exposure to fixed income without worrying about fluctuations in market liquidity. Recent NAIC accounting guidance could make bond ETFs even more attractive to insurers, since it gives them greater clarity over how to treat the instruments.
