Strategic ALM for Insurance Companies: Optimizing Financial Matching

Strategic Asset-Liability Management (ALM), known in the insurance world as financial matching, is one of the most critical pillars for the financial health, solvency, and long-term performance of insurance companies. Its main goal is to align the characteristics of assets (investments) with the timing and nature of liabilities (policyholder obligations), optimizing capital efficiency while minimizing financial mismatches that can jeopardize the firm’s stability.

Historically, ALM practices emerged in the banking sector as a response to interest rate volatility and liquidity pressures. However, insurance companies, especially life and pension insurers, adopted and expanded the concept to include long-term liability-driven investment strategies, adapting them to the distinct risk profile and longer duration of their commitments. Unlike banks—which manage short-term deposit outflows—insurers deal with long-term promises, such as annuities and death benefits, that require carefully tailored investment portfolios.
