The main focus of this paper is the examination of some of the socio-economic factors
affecting portfolio decisions of Nigerian Insurance Companies. Decision making and risk
assessment are multi criteria processes that cannot be defined by rigid quantitative models thus
highlighting the necessity to consider decision making by decision makers in their natural settings
(social contexts, political and environment). In practice, it was found that in some cases asset or
investment decisions were based on issues that bear little or no significance to economic or financial
considerations as espoused in literature. Economic theory cannot be fully characterised on one
dimensional scale that reflect only risk tolerance.
