We work with independent thinkers.

Independent thinkers are those who make sense of things based on personal observations and experiences rather than just going along with common perceptions.

That is who AAM is and that is who our clients are. It is in this spirit of independent thinking that we work to help our clients “rethink” risk.

We promise a culture of transparency.

Our clients represent a cross section of the insurance industry and include Life, Health, Property & Casualty, Captive, Specialty, and Start-Up insurers.

We share the lessons learned from our engagement with all of these companies across our client roster as we strive to position them for success.

What can you expect as our partner?

You can expect a focus that always puts the client first. You can expect clear communication.

And you can expect a portfolio construction process that is designed to create unique, customized investment portfolios that are geared to your specific objectives and risk constraints.
