Abstract

Introduction

The insurance sector continues to struggle with waning premiums, poor investment performance and large charges from DAC unlocking. There are signs of a rebound, however: equities have bounced back from March lows, yield is returning to government debt and economic news is bad but less bad than before. The current environment has affected insurers' budgets and IT spending strategies.

Scope
  • Financial and operational overview of key insurers.
  • A look at the credit, equities and real estate markets affecting insurers' investment income.
  • Explores the M&A environment in Europe, North America and Asia.
  • Provides an overview of drivers and adoption rates of Business Intelligence (BI) in the insurance vertical.
Highlights

The greatest industry pain has come from withering investment income and large write-offs from securities in troubled entities. The turbulent markets have wreaked havoc on variable annuity providers who have had to take DAC unlocking charges.

The scale of the recent downturn could have been mitigated with better risk management strategies. Additionally, low top-line growth and anaemic investment income is elevating the need to improve operational efficiency in order to protect profitability.

In NA and Europe, budget decreases outpaced increases in 2009, according to a Datamonitor survey. This is expected to reverse in 2010, ushering in a period of healthier IT spending. In Asia Pacific, IT budgets will be strong and stable between 2009 -10.
