Summary
Financial liberalization generally increases the volatility of the yields life insurance companies
will earn on their assets under management. Such insurers must reduce this high volatility in
an efficient manner. Corporate asset investment managers must therefore forecast the yield on
an investment, its volatility, and the correlation between different asset investments. The
inherent complexity of the financial market makes it extremely difficult to make
such projections. However, through the management of a life insurance
company, we can understand how these three indicators are related to one
another by using the OMNI model, which this paper is intended to delineate.
