WTW has appointed Anthony Plotnek to lead its recently merged private assets and capital management team within its insurance consulting and technology business.

The team provides specialist expertise and advice focused in particular on all aspects of meeting the regulatory requirements for matching adjustment portfolios, and balance sheet management strategies for bulk purchase annuity providers.

Plotnek first joined WTW in 2021, bringing with him 16 years of experience across life insurance, consulting and insurance investments. Prior to joining WTW, he held senior level roles as head of capital management projects at Just Group, and capital management actuary at Retirement Advantage/Canada Life.

Plotnek stated: “SUK reforms combined with the challenges firms are facing moving into a sustained period of high inflation and high rates are driving the need for greater sophistication in private asset valuation, modelling and risk management, including updating internal model calibrations for new private asset investments. I look forward to building on WTW’s strong track record in delivering bespoke solutions to help unlock value and enhance return on investment for our clients.”
