Summary
Long buoyed by a low interest rate environment, private credit has remained a material piece of insurer portfolios despite the current high interest rates. This is the opposite of what many experts had predicted, so join us as we delve into the intricate terrain of private credit utilization by insurers. This webinar will explore geographical trends in private credit investing, examine exposures within the context of strategic asset allocation, discuss how market structure is changing, the impact on public credit and future hypotheticals. During our session, our panel will discuss a variety of topics, including:
- The benefits of investing in private placements
- Performance and risk in today’s environment
- Impact on public bond markets
- What factors drive differentiated outcomes in private placement
