Financial position and assets

The structure of our technical provisions and other liabilities essentially constitutes the basis for the Talanx Group’s investment strategy. The linking and harmonization of the underwriting portfolio (liability management) with the investment portfolio (asset management) delivers integrated asset/liability management (ALM). The aim is to stabilize the position in the face of fluctuations on capital markets. Please see also the risk report.

We also use derivative financial instruments in order to structure asset management activities as effectively as possible (see here the sections of the Notes entitled “Hedge accounting”, and “Derivative financial instruments and structured products”).
