Forza Investment Group has launched Forza Insurance Asset Management (FIAM), a new platform designed to meet the investment and reporting needs of insurance and reinsurance companies.
FIAM operates as an independent business and offers a range of investment strategies, including investment grade fixed income, structured credit, private credit and selected opportunistic strategies.
The company explains that a focus is on structuring investments to meet the precise requirements of insurance balance sheets and regulatory standards.
The platform improves operational efficiency by providing comprehensive reporting and compliance support, ensuring transparency for boards, auditors and regulators, while reducing administrative effort and maintaining strong risk oversight.
FIAM operates with a streamlined structure that emphasizes senior-level engagement and customization without the complexity or cost typically associated with larger asset management organizations.
With this launch, Forza’s assets under management have expanded from approximately $1.6 billion to over $3 billion.
“FIAM is built within an insurance company, not around an insurance company,” said Mark Melchiorre, managing partner and chief investment officer at Forza Investment Group. “We have successfully operated this platform over the years by combining rigorous investment execution with practical systems designed for real-life insurance environments. We are now opening FIAM to other insurance companies looking for a flexible, scalable solution.”
