If you ask 10 chief investment officers (CIO) at major insurance companies to explain their investment strategies and concerns, you’ll hear silence.Executive SummaryChief investment officers for the P/C insurance industry have to maintain a delicate balance between risk and return.

Understandably, no CIO wants to reveal their exact approach or devalue their own efforts by sharing how they get the returns they do. It seems a simple conversation around it is taboo.
