Conning & Company was founded in Hartford, Connecticut in 1912. Because of its early exposure to the insurance industry, the firm quickly developed a reputation as an insurance industry and equity specialist, serving the needs of major institutional investors, as well as the senior managements of insurance companies.
Over nearly a century, Conning’s resources have grown, expanding into numerous insurance-related areas.
- Our roots are founded in providing investment advice to major institutional investors in insurance stocks.
- Conning’s strong actuarial and valuation skills leveraged the firm’s first expansion business, providing specialized consulting services to the insurance industry.
- To complement its consulting practice, Conning established a new type of research and publications service designed to fulfill the special needs of insurance company executives. This service has gained wide acceptance as a strategic resource for insurers and others having a professional interest in the insurance industry.
- As a natural outgrowth of its investment expertise and actuarial and insurance knowledge, Conning was naturally poised to be one of the first to enter the growing market for insurance company asset management.
- Today, Conning is a leading global third-party insurance asset manager – and the largest pure-play insurance asset manager – with offices in Hartford, New York, London and Dublin. The company represents a unique combination of talent and business focus, all centered around a specialized approach to providing products and services for the insurance and financial service industries.
Our specialized knowledge and broad access to a powerful network of insurance executives gives us a comprehensive capacity to serve the growing financial services needs of today's markets. For more information about Conning’s services, please contact us.
