Gauging the Exposure to Transition Risks of Colombian Insurers’ Investment Portfolios

Report Emerging markets PACTA Insurance

This study presents the results of a climate scenario analysis of insurers’ investment portfolios, carried out by 2° Investing Initiative and FASECOLDA, the Colombian Insurers Federation.

Additional information

Key Findings

1

Colombian insurers are significantly exposed to transition-relevant sectors, which cover up to 46% of the AuM of the listed equity and corporate bond portfolios

2

Overall, the scenario analysis results are relatively positive: for example, results for the oil & gas, hydropower, and gas-based power of the corporate bond portfolio are compatible with a 2°C scenario

3

However, the insurers’ portfolios still face potential exposure to risks arising from a disruptive transition that will need to be mitigated, due to their investments in oil, coal-based power, and certain auto companies

The results shed light on the extent to which insurers’ financial portfolios are exposed to transition risks arising from a disruptive transition, as well as identifying potential avenues for risk mitigation.

This is the first exercise of its kind in Latin America and the second in the world with an industry association.
