This newsletter brings the latest topics impacting insurers, aimed to help those managing investment portfolios while considering an insurer’s business, regulatory and solvency needs.
Hello everyone, welcome to our last edition, as we wrap up another eventful year.
Just to quickly recap some of what we discussed over the year - we started off by assessing an illustrative asset allocation by incorporating the most updated set of capital market assumptions and looked at what asset classes can help further diversify and improve the portfolio - while managing capital considerations. We then highlighted how a multi-alternatives approach can be a reasonable way to build up diversified private markets exposures. But also highlighting to our keen readers that we can potentially generate efficiencies even within existing public asset class exposures.
So we end this series by providing a broad outlook – challenges, obviously, are ever present – yields as well as spreads have moderated, equities have done well, but headwinds remain, private market asset strategies continue to appear reasonably attractive, but rigorous analysis remains key. And then of course, there are changing regulations globally that means portfolios need to be closely monitored and impacts carefully assessed.
As always, we hope the newsletters and topics covered will help in the design and management of insurance portfolios amidst a constantly evolving landscape.
Best Wishes and see you all in 2026.

Insurers are increasingly using private credit to boost portfolio efficiency amid regulatory and capital pressures. Within this shift, CLO notes could offer attractive spreads and low correlation to public markets, making them a valuable addition to insurers’ private credit allocations.
Asia High Yield is set for a second year of outperformance despite market contraction, supported by low defaults, front-end opportunities, and pull-to-par potential, reinforcing its role in global portfolios.
The Vision platform is a state-of-the art, portfolio diagnostics tool to “pre-experience” how different variables affect investment outcomes. By identifying risk and return drivers, including under certain risk-based capital regimes, as well as exposures to an array of factors, Vision effectively characterizes the inherent risks in a defined liability or cash flow profile to identify optimal investment strategies.
