Investment Philosophy:
Denver Investment Advisors provides a full spectrum of asset management services to a broad range of insurance companies. We have first-hand experience investing insurance assets in a wide array of fixed income mandates

We apply a total return approach to our insurance company mandates, subject to the individual constraints that a client may impose. Our specialty is building a portfolio to meet your objectives. The uniquely constrained portfolios of insurance entities, with varying book yield, gain/loss, income and total return objectives, incorporate our unique capabilities to achieve the client’s desired goals. 

 
Investment Process:
Our investment process optimizes returns in a constrained environment. We recognize that insurance companies operate in an environment constrained by influences over which they have little control, including regulators, rating agencies, accounting, and tax and income requirements. To address these external pressures, our professionals have experience in both the insurance and investment management industries, allowing us to deliver our insurance knowledge as an overlay to Denver Investment Advisors’ proven investment approaches. In essence, Denver Investment Advisors’ investment management services for insurance clients combine our top-tier investment capabilities with our in-depth understanding of the investment issues facing insurers. We understand in more depth each client’s liability and business issues and combine it with our focus on the capital markets. As a team, we are able to optimize investment performance within each client’s predetermined portfolio risk tolerance and return requirements.
