Yeah, so insurance regulators are not getting less concerned about funded (/"asset-intensive") reinsurance... The Bank of England is demanding, effective immediately, a load of counterparty limits and other controls on funded re deals and *has warned* insurance CEOs that if things do not improve it will consider intervening to restrict the business.  Meanwhile, the NAIC met yesterday to talk about its own proposals for tighter controls. All this in light of events at 777 Re... The PRA said there was a “particularly high level of uncertainty in the probability and potential size of losses” insurers were exposed to through funded reinsurance deals, due to the “absence of adequate public, historic or forward-looking data” on counterparty risks. Sounds like nothing to worry about at all 😅

AM Best has revised its outlook for the UK non-life insurance market to stable from negative, in part because it believes commercial and specialty carriers will continue to benefit from rate hardening. “The underwriting results of the UK non-life segment should be supported by the strong market conditions in commercial and specialty lines, which continue to benefit from positive rate momentum,” it said.

JOURNO REQUEST / REQUEST FOR COMMENT Writing a feature for Insurance Investor hooked on recent news that the BoE is worried about the private equity sector - and what this means for the insurance industry. Areas of interest include: - The Bank of England is getting worried that private assets are over-leveraged, is there “too much” private equity in the insurance sector? - What does this all mean for the insurance industry and what should individual insurers be looking out for? - If BoE is getting worried about PE and insurers are allocating to it, how do insurer’s feel about it? - What are the compliance considerations for insurers? - What is PE’s side of the story? Looking to speak to insurance companies, asset managers, private equity companies etc. Drop me a message if you can help or know someone who might be able to. #privateequity #journorequest #insuranceinvestors #insuranceassetmanagement
