Case Study: a.s.r. strengthens investment strategy with Ortec Finance's GLASS

a.s.r. - Customer Case Study

a.s.r., a Dutch insurance company with €43 billion in assets under management, sought a robust solution to model economic scenarios and assess risks for its strategic investment decisions. They required a tool that could show how different asset classes interact and the subsequent impact on their balance sheet, particularly when considering complex portfolio shifts like adding illiquid investments. To meet this challenge, a.s.r. turned to the GLASS model from Ortec Finance.

Ortec Finance implemented its GLASS platform as a flexible economic scenario integrator. The solution provides high-quality modeling across a large number of asset classes, allowing a.s.r. to fine-tune assumptions and run analyses based on their macroeconomic views. This has enabled a.s.r. to make more informed investment decisions. The long-term partnership and intensive cooperation with Ortec Finance, including weekly meetings and customizations, have been crucial. a.s.r. highly values the technical quality of the GLASS model, the strong working relationship, and the renowned reputation that Ortec Finance brings, which also inspires confidence in their own clients.
