Aon Plc Stock Price, News & Analysis

A comprehensive report by Aon and the National Institute on Retirement Security reveals how U.S. public pension plans have successfully adapted their investment strategies over time. The analysis shows that from 2001 to 2023, pension plans reallocated approximately 20% of their assets from traditional public equity and fixed income to alternative investments including private equity, real estate, and hedge funds. This diversification strategy has proven effective, with pension plans outperforming traditional 60/40 or 70/30 stock/bond portfolios post-2008 Global Financial Crisis, while exhibiting lower volatility. The study highlights how plans evolved from primarily investing in municipal bonds in the 1920s-1930s to adopting more diverse portfolios, particularly during the ultra-low interest rate environment following the financial crisis. The research demonstrates that this strategic diversification has enabled pension funds to consistently meet their investment return expectations and deliver reliable benefits despite changing market conditions.

Aon's 2025 Cyber Risk Report reveals that cyber events causing reputational damage can lead to a significant 27% average decline in shareholder value. The study analyzed 1,414 cyber events, with 56 evolving into reputation risk events. This represents a substantial increase from 2023's findings of 9% shareholder value decline. Malware and Ransomware attacks were identified as the most damaging, accounting for 60% of reputation risk events while comprising only 45% of total cyber incidents. The report identified five key drivers for value recovery: preparedness, leadership, swift action, communication, and change. Additionally, the study emphasizes that while cyber insurance can help with financial exposure, reputational risk remains largely uninsurable, highlighting the importance of proactive risk management.
