Overview: This paper investigates the impact of illiquidity on insurance company asset allocation and selling strategy. The need for insurers to settle claims as they arise by making funds available immediately make insurers especially susceptible to the effects of transaction illiquidity. Using a simplified model of a risk neutral insurance company, the effect of permanent and temporary price impact on initial asset allocation is examined. The optimal asset allocation and selling strategy are determined numerically. While a clear diversification benefit is evident on the basis of illiquidity, under certain market assumptions, the cash-flow matching strategy is optimal.
