While investors, in general, appear to believe that we are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel after many years of uncertainty and central bank intervention, they are preoccupied with different issues depending upon their specific objectives. For example, Pensions are focused on funding and rate of return topics, while Insurers are looking at a broad range of potential market risks.
MethodologyDuring 2023, Coalition Greenwich conducted in-depth interviews with 103 key decision-makers at the largest German institutional investors.
