Andrew Putwain: You’ll be speaking at Insurance Investor Live | North America 2026 on the topic of “Balancing capital, liquidity and risk: do dynamic strategies strengthen balance-sheet resilience?” Can you give us an overview of what the biggest challenges and opportunities are around implementing dynamic strategies?
Peggy Huang: Dynamic does not mean trading more often. Rather, it means changing the whole balance sheet as liabilities and markets move, before a constraint forces the hard decision. The hard part is sequencing. It usually starts with the liability and the liquidity ladder; then we look at capital, tax and ratings before rotating assets. Something that looks attractive on its own may not work once policyholder behaviour or capital treatment is included.
If we get the sequence right, we can meet our commitments, avoid selling at the wrong time and still have room to invest when markets give us the opportunity. That is balance-sheet resilience.
