Actuarial Risk Management Ltd. (ARM) has appointed Raghu Ramachandran as the Director of its Life & Annuity insurance consulting division, effective immediately.
As a seasoned investment expert, Ramachandran brings a distinguished career to ARM, spanning several notable positions. These include serving as the Head of Insurance Asset Channel at S&P Dow Jones Indices, addressing the needs of S&P’s insurance clients for nearly a decade.
He has also held the position of Chief Investment Officer at a prominent US multi-line insurance company and served as an insurance portfolio manager and head of the portfolio strategy group at Brown Brothers Harriman (BBH).
Ramachandran began his consulting career with Tillinghast, now part of Willis Towers Watson, where he developed stochastic modelling tools. His expertise covers portfolio and liquidity management, portfolio strategy, hedging, product development, and stochastic modelling.
“Raghu and I crossed paths 30 years ago when I came to the US, and I have been continually impressed by his capabilities and insights into risk management for insurance company portfolios,” mentioned Corwin (Cory) Zass, Principal and Founder at ARM.
“With increasing regulatory scrutiny on investments held by insurance companies, the addition of Raghu to our team is very timely. His impressive background will benefit our clients immensely, while promoting ARM’s captive BPO platform in Argentina, the Data Modelling Institute (DMI), which supports our extensive pool of senior consulting actuaries,” further added Zass.
In his new role at ARM, Ramachandran will serve as the company’s Client Relationship Manager, focusing on insurers and reinsurers in the life insurance, annuity, and Pension Risk Transfer (PRT) markets. Leveraging his extensive investment experience, he will provide critical insights on regulatory impacts on insurance sector assets.
Ramachandran’s appointment signifies a notable advancement for ARM as it extends its advisory offerings and strengthens its proficiency in the insurance industry.
