The real challenge now is operational, and having an open, scalable technology infrastructure becomes essential to handle this complexity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe research combines industry-aggregated NAIC data with CWAN\u2019s proprietary database, which processes over $10 trillion in global assets, revealing allocation patterns and operational challenges that smaller datasets cannot detect. The study found wide variation among individual insurers\u2014with exposure to alternatives ranging from the low single digits to well over half of some portfolios\u2014but identified upward, structural trends driven by the need for diversification, predictable yields, and liability matching.<\/p>\n<p><b>Implications for the Investment Industry<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThe findings suggest that traditional portfolio construction models require fundamental revision, having profound implications for asset managers, consultants, and institutional investors across all sectors.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThis research represents one of the most comprehensive analyses of alternative investment adoption in the insurance industry,\u201d said Matthew Vegari, Head of Research at CWAN. \u201cBy combining industry-wide NAIC data with analysis of our $4.4 trillion client database, we\u2019re seeing patterns that smaller datasets simply cannot reveal, including a technology infrastructure gap that threatens operational stability. Institutional investors are embracing newer asset classes that legacy systems simply can\u2019t handle to any meaningful degree. Allocators need to see their investments in one place, on one system, especially in today\u2019s risk environment. CWAN delivers just that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe complete research report is available for <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fcwan.com%2Fresources%2Freports%2Fcwan-research-insight-are-alternatives-still-alternative%2F%3Futm_medium%3Dthird_party%26utm_source%3Dbw%26utm_campaign%3DPR-2025-11-12-INS-GLO-Alts_Insurance_Research_Report%26utm_term%3Dins-glo-ar%26utm_content%3Den&amp;esheet=54356273&amp;newsitemid=20251112818303&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=download+here&amp;index=3&amp;md5=9997e632812d58f397aa907c176a76c2\">download here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>About CWAN<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nClearwater Analytics (NYSE: CWAN) is transforming investment management with the industry\u2019s most comprehensive cloud-native platform for institutional investors across global public and private markets.
