The role for private credit in insurance investment portfolios is rapidly evolving as insurers look for higher yields and greater diversification amid compressed public bond spreads.
To consider this evolution, and ways in which to access private credit, Aon hosted a focused roundtable with 10 leading life and non-life insurers representing over £300bn of AUM.
In a wide-ranging discussion, several trends and insights were considered, including:
- Why UK insurers are increasing allocations to traditional direct lending and alternative asset-backed finance (ABF).
- How trade finance and fund finance are gaining traction and filling gaps left by retrenching banks.
- The growing availability of subscription-line financing to smaller insurers
- How liquidity considerations are impacting investment decisions
- The potential for Solvency UK flexibilities to open new portfolio opportunities for insurers.
