Aon launches regional capital efficiency advice service

Aon has created a new Asia Pacific Capital Advisory Unit following the launch of similar capital efficiency advice teams in the UK and US.

The units optimise the use of capital at insurers through what Aon calls forensic balance sheet analyses.

Aon CEO of Japan for Reinsurance Solutions Rupert Moore says many insurers have been experiencing low growth, underwriting margins and investment income while facing higher capital requirements due to regulatory and rating agency obligations.

“The goal of Capital Advisory is to help clients achieve capital efficiency either by accessing alternative or traditional capital, or through identifying opportunities that make better use of existing capital, while taking into account cost and returns,” Mr Moore said.
