London and New York, 12 December 2023 – Quantifi, a provider of risk, analytics and trading solutions, today announced that it has been named Technology Firm of the Year at the Insurance Asset Management Awards.

Risk management is a fundamental and integral aspect of the insurance asset management industry. The implementation of MiFID II, Basel lll, Solvency ll and IFRS13 has changed the way almost all portfolios are priced, traded and reported. A comprehensive approach is required to understand, measure and mitigate the market, credit and liquidity risk associated with managing an investment portfolio that supports assets and liabilities. A key objective for an insurer is to make sure there is sufficient cash flow to fund future payment obligations to clients. However, increasing regulatory oversight and capital requirements have made this more challenging. As a result, firms are turning to liability driven investment (LDI) strategies to attain their funding target more readily. The goal for insurers is to optimise the balance between risk and return while ensuring long-term financial stability.
“There is growing demand for integrated solutions, like Quantifi, that provide a holistic picture of risk across multiple asset classes.”
Rohan Douglas, CEO, Quantifi
