Alternative credit and special situations firm Forza Investment Group has launched Forza Insurance Asset Management (FIAM), a dedicated platform designed to meet the investment and reporting needs of insurance and reinsurance companies, adding $1.6 billion in assets under management.  

FIAM will operate as a standalone business, giving clients access to investment-grade fixed income, structured credit, private credit, and select opportunistic strategies tailored to insurance balance sheets. 

“FIAM was built inside an insurance company, not around one,” said Mark Melchiorre, managing partner and CIO of Forza Investment Group. “We have operated this platform successfully for several years by combining disciplined investment execution with practical systems designed for real-world insurance environments.”  

Melchiorre noted that the platform was developed within a live insurance investment environment, working directly with “a strategic partner, an operating insurer, its balance sheet constraints, and regulatory requirements.” 

The platform also includes integrated reporting and compliance support, providing transparency for boards, auditors, and regulators while aiming to reduce administrative burden and support strong risk oversight. With the launch of FIAM, Summit, N.J.-based Forza now oversees more than $3 billion in assets across alternative credit and special situations strategies.
