About
Conning primarily manages fixed‑income and equity portfolios for institutional clients, with a client base that explicitly includes insurance companies and pension plans. It acts as investment manager and sub‑advisor to pooled vehicles — including Luxembourg UCITS funds, private funds and a collective investment trust — and is also registered as a commodity trading advisor.
The firm’s investment approach is insurance‑centric and “fundamentals‑first,” combining proprietary insurance research, strategic asset allocation and customized liability‑driven investing (LDI) to align assets with client liabilities and capital needs. Investment implementation relies on dedicated sector teams, regular sector‑rotation views and the selective use of derivatives and futures for hedging and duration management in separately managed accounts.
Conning publishes industry research and sells periodicals and subscriptions, and licenses proprietary modeling software (GEMS® and ADVISE®), features that set it apart from most peers. It operates within a broader group structure that includes an affiliated broker‑dealer, real‑estate and alternative‑asset affiliates and provides expanded services (private fund placements, model manager services and commodity/CTA capabilities) beyond traditional institutional portfolio management.

We'll help you think it through – whether you ultimately need an advisor or not.
Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
