Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at LWCC?
John Hawie serves as SVP and Chief Strategy and Investment Officer, leading the investment team's asset allocation and manager selection. The portfolio strategy is executed in coordination with President and CEO Kristin Wall, who chairs the executive oversight of the insurance and investment functions. Board-level governance is chaired by Rob Liles.
What is LWCC's investment mandate?
The mandate is liability-driven investing shaped entirely by the long-tail nature of workers' compensation claims. The portfolio includes mortgage securities for duration management, commercial real estate including the firm's own headquarters building, and an allocation to alternative assets for return enhancement. Liquidity management must accommodate variable claim payment schedules under Louisiana regulatory oversight.
How is the LWCC Foundation related to the insurance company?
The LWCC Foundation is a separate philanthropic entity funded by the corporation, focused on community and educational initiatives in Louisiana. Its known partnership is the Kids' Chance Scholarship Program with the Louisiana Bar Foundation, which provides scholarships to dependents of workers affected by workplace injuries. The foundation operates independently of the investment portfolio.
How does LWCC's investment portfolio manage inflation and interest-rate risk?
The disclosed portfolio composition—mortgage securities, real estate, and alternatives—provides multiple levers for managing rate sensitivity. Mortgage securities offer adjustable-rate exposure and prepayment dynamics that insurers commonly use for liability matching. The commercial real estate holding at the Baton Rouge headquarters adds a hard-asset component that historically correlates with replacement-cost inflation, relevant for a workers' comp book where medical-cost inflation is a primary exposure driver.
