Overview on Oliver Wyman's Insurance & Asset Management Practice   

At Oliver Wyman, we are passionate about reinventing insurance. We partner clients across four major transformative moments:

• Customer-Led Transformation: Identifying growth and efficiency opportunities by focusing on customer needs. Key questions include: "How can we accelerate topline growth by addressing unmet customer needs?" and "Where can our unique capabilities create a competitive advantage?"
• Performance Transformation: Improving operating models and streamlining costs to reinvest in critical capabilities.
• Deal-Driven Transformation: Supporting integrations, divestitures, and IPOs to help clients navigate complex transactions.
• Stakeholder-Led Transformation: Helping clients adapt to external pressures such as regulatory changes, board strategies, shareholder demands, or leadership transitions.

Our Insurance & Asset Management practice works closely with our Actuarial team, combining deep industry knowledge, analytical insight, and specialized expertise to solve our clients' toughest challenges. We aim to double our size over the next five years.

As part of Marsh McLennan, a global leader in insurance, we collaborated with colleagues from Marsh, Mercer, and Guy Carpenter to transform the insurance industry.
