Insurers are increasingly looking to private market exposure, signaling a shift in investment strategies according to Conning’s annual insurance investment risk survey. The survey suggests that insurance investors now express significantly less concern regarding inflation compared to recent years.
This shift indicates a growing willingness among insurance companies to take on additional risk in their portfolios, likely in pursuit of higher returns. The move highlights a broader trend of increasing investment activity in the private market space, as investors seek opportunities beyond traditional, publicly traded assets.
