The potential end of the era of low yields and the risk of persistent high inflation mean insurers are re-examining their strategies for allocating to private investment programs. Managers believe rising rates may draw interest away from private debt and equity for as long as the rise in yields, a global trend, continues.
That being said, some insurers are still looking at private investments, given that interest rates are not guaranteed to continually increase as they might in the U.S., due to structural economic differences. Private markets may still be the right avenue to generate yield in the medium and long term.
Many managers are already talking to their insurance clients about the impact of increased fixed-income yields, which could affect the illiquidity premium on some private investments, as well as the likelihood of private investments outperforming inflation in the medium to long term. According to our research, 48% of insurers are looking to increase the number of asset managers they work with on their private asset investment across their general account business.
