In a market shaped by high volatility, regulatory change and increasingly interconnected risks, enterprise resilience is becoming a source of strategic advantage — not just a defensive risk-management capability. This session will explore how AI-enabled scenario intelligence can help insurers connect stress testing, Solvency II review requirements, ALM, SAA, capital optimization and portfolio construction within a single decision framework. We will discuss how integrated modeling across assets, liabilities, market and credit risk, climate and liquidity scenarios can support better balance-sheet steering, improved pension risk transfer analytics and more robust alternative asset modeling. Finally, we will show how high-performance computing and cloud-based risk platforms can turn complex scenario analysis into faster, more actionable decisions for CROs, CIOs and investment teams.
