Against this background, the aim of this paper is to study infrastructure investments from an insurer's perspective. In particular, based on a categorisation of different types of infrastructure investments, we provide an overview of main characteristics along with risks and chances. In addition, the treatment of different infrastructure investments under Solvency II regulations is studied, which can have a considerable impact on an insurer's asset management decisions. The study shows that the attractiveness of infrastructure investments strongly depends on the type of investment and its treatment under Solvency II and that considerable risks can be involved. business studies alexrepo Kosub Thomas joint author https://www.alexandria.unisg.ch/255492/1/Insurers%E2%80%98%20Investment%20in%20Infrastructure%20Overview%20and%20Treatment%20under%20Solvency%20II.pdf text/html WWW-Backlink auf das Repository 1 Journal paper alexrepo NonPeerReviewed alexrepo peerstatus ALEXREPO 856 40 https://www.alexandria.unisg.ch/255492/1/Insurers%E2%80%98%20Investment%20in%20Infrastructure%20Overview%20and%20Treatment%20under%20Solvency%20II.pdf text/html WWW-Backlink auf das Repository ALEXREPO 100 1- Gatzert Nadine ALEXREPO 700 1- Kosub Thomas joint author ALEXREPO 773 0- BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 ALEXREPO ALEXREPO ALEXREPO Journal paper
