CIM Group Launches Insurance Industry Investor Team

CIM Group said it plans to expand its insurance-focused client solutions by creating a specialized insurance industry investor team and recruiting a veteran in insurance asset management to lead the effort.

In an October 30 press release, CIM said it appointed Bernard Ryan as managing director and head of insurance. He will be responsible for creating the insurance team and choosing the members with specific industry related skill and expertise. Ryan joins CIM after nearly 18 years with global asset manager DWS Group, where he was a managing director and head of business development for insurance asset management.

CIM said the new team will seek to offer bespoke strategies and partnerships to insurance companies across the firm’s real estate, infrastructure, and credit businesses.
