According to the firm, Alexander Braun, adjunct professor of risk management, Sebastian Utz, assistant professor of finance, and Jiahua Xu, a postdoctoral researcher, were awarded by the IIS for their research titled, “Are Insurance Balance Sheets Carbon-Neutral? Harnessing Asset Pricing for Climate Change Policy.”

The award was presented at the 2019 IIS Global Insurance Forum held at the Shangri-La Hotel in Singapore on Thursday.

The award, named after Kyobo Life Insurance Company founder Shin Yong-ho, was established in 1997 to commemorate Shin, who was inducted into the Insurance Hall of Fame in 1996 for creating the world’s first education insurance policy.
