"We are very pleased to welcome Heneg to our team," said Anker. "Low interest rates, and the accompanying search for yield, have encouraged insurers to look at the wider fixed income universe. Heneg will draw on Insight's broad range of fixed income capabilities to give insurers access to our specialist expertise in areas such as illiquid credit.
"Heneg will also work closely with Insight's liability driven investment team, which combines actuarial expertise with a comprehensive insurance reporting solution. This team has been providing valuable support to insurance clients as they approach the Solvency II implementation deadline in 2016."
