Allianz investment strategies
At Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America (Allianz), a company affiliated with Allianz Life Insurance Company of New York (Allianz Life® of NY), we have developed a comprehensive system of monitoring and managing our investment options and money managers.
Our system is based on rigorous money manager oversight. This comprehensive and proactive approach demonstrates that we are committed to the future – your future.
Managing the managers
What sets our investment methodology apart is our Comprehensive Performance Management, or CPM, process.
CPM is the system we have developed to monitor, manage, and when necessary, modify our investment option and money manager selections. We evaluate the performance of our investment options based on three key principles: control, consistency, and capacity.
Control
We evaluate money managers based on their conformity to their stated investment style and objectives.
Consistency
We evaluate our money managers based on the consistency of their long-term performance. We compare their returns to market and peer group returns, and seek changes when our criteria are not met. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Capacity
We evaluate our money managers to ensure they have the systems, capital, and expertise to continue to provide a diverse portfolio of investment options over the long term.
Investing in an index variable annuity may be the answer for part of your overall retirement strategy. An index variable annuity offers a unique combination of features, including market participation through a variety of allocation options; tax-deferred growth opportunities; and optional protection benefits that can provide certain income and beneficiary guarantees for an additional cost.
Index variable annuities are subject to investment risk, including loss of principal, and contract values typically fluctuate daily.
