DWS Insurance Asset Management Conference

Nashville, Tennessee

October 1 - 3, 2023

I had the great pleasure of recently attending DWS’ outstanding Insurance Asset Management Conference in Nashville, Tennessee. It is the premier insurance asset management event out there - the attendance by insurance industry leaders is superb, the content is rich and deeply thought-provoking, and the ability to socialize with so many outstanding strategists on the future of insurance and insurance asset management is outstanding.

The panel I had the honor of sitting on was entitled “Braving the New World and World Markets,” which included Bjoern Jesch, DWS’ Global Chief Investment Officer, and Paul Kelly, the Global Head of Alternatives for DWS.

We covered a host of macroeconomic issues and geopolitical issues. What makes panels like this particularly enjoyable is both Paul and Bjoern are incredibly well-versed not just in what is going on in the markets but also in geopolitical risks and their potential impact on markets. It made for a deep, insightful discussion - I learned a lot from both of them in this hour-long event.

Thank you, DWS, for including me. Great job, Bjoern and Paul. Really outstanding event!
