The recent Solvency UK reforms are reshaping investment opportunities for life insurers, particularly in sub-investment grade (SIG) private debt. With the removal of barriers such as the BBB cliff-edge, insurers can now explore higher-yielding assets while maintaining a prudent and strategic approach to risk. 

In our latest whitepaper, developed in partnership with L&G, we explore: 

  • The impact of Solvency UK reforms on SIG investments 
  • The potential role of BB-rated private debt in insurer portfolios 
  • Key considerations around capital requirements, risk management, and ESG 
  • Case studies illustrating example investments in SIG private debt 

 

Download our paper below to discover how life insurers can leverage SIG private debt to enhance diversification, strengthen portfolio resilience, and access new sources of return.
