As investment-led insurance strategies have become more prevalent, private credit has become an important part of insurers’ balance sheets. This move gathered momentum in the low interest rate environment following the financial crisis, but even with today’s higher-rates, private credit remains critical for generating attractive risk-adjusted returns and supporting long-term liability management.

Private credit creates two primary layers of complexity: (i) managing operational strain in areas with limited data accessibility and (ii) integrating these investments into broader reporting and capital strategies, including reinsurance (as a tool for AUM growth). This can be difficult.
