InsuranceAUM.com, affiliated with The Institutes, today announced that the 5th Annual Insurance Investment Executives’ Annual Meeting will take place June 9–11, 2026, at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business’ Gleacher Center in Chicago, Illinois. The exclusive gathering will bring together chief investment officers, senior investment professionals, and industry leaders for two days of high-level discussions, peer collaboration, and strategic insights into the evolving insurance investment landscape.

Now entering its fifth year, the Annual Meeting has become a cornerstone event for insurance asset owners seeking candid dialogue, actionable insights, and meaningful industry connections. The 2026 meeting will feature a fresh, evolving LP-led agenda developed by this year’s co-chairs, T.C. Wilson, Chief Investment Officer at The Doctor’s Company, and Janelle Woodward, CFA, Senior Managing Director, Multi-Asset Group at Allstate Investments.

Designed exclusively for insurance asset allocators, the event emphasizes open conversation, shared learning, and collaboration among peers navigating increasingly complex portfolio and market dynamics.

“Reaching our fifth Annual Meeting is a meaningful milestone for our community,” said Stewart Foley, CFA, Founder and Senior Advisor of InsuranceAUM.com. “What started as an idea to bring insurance CIOs together for authentic dialogue has grown into one of the most trusted gatherings in the industry. In a market defined by uncertainty, regulation, and rapid innovation, the ability to sit down with peers, challenge ideas, and learn from each other’s experience has never been more valuable. If you’re responsible for allocating capital in an insurance portfolio today, this is where those conversations happen.”

LP-Led Content and Candid Dialogue

A hallmark of the meeting is its LP-focused format, ensuring discussions remain grounded in the real-world challenges facing insurance investment leaders.

The 2026 program will include LP-only sessions, providing a confidential environment where insurance executives can exchange perspectives on portfolio construction, market conditions, regulatory pressures, and emerging investment opportunities.

Howard Marks Returns as Keynote Speaker

Distinguished investor Howard Marks, Co-Founder and Co-Chairman of Oaktree Capital Management, will once again deliver the event keynote. Marks is widely recognized for his insights on market cycles, risk management, and long-term investment discipline. Marks’ thoughtful commentary and widely read investment memos have made him one of the most respected voices in global investing.

Strong Early Demand

Demand for the 2026 Annual Meeting has been exceptionally strong. All sponsor opportunities have already sold out, and half of the insurance asset owner spots are already reserved several months ahead of the event.

The meeting maintains a carefully curated attendance structure designed to foster meaningful engagement among participants and ensure the discussions remain focused on the needs of insurance asset owners.

This event is made possible through the generous support of our executive council and sponsors. InsuranceAUM.com recognizes their invaluable contributions, which not only make this gathering possible but also highlights the industry’s shared commitment to advancing insurance asset management.

Insurance asset owners attend the meeting complimentary, reflecting InsuranceAUM.com’s commitment to supporting education, collaboration, and innovation within the insurance investment community.
