The roundtable discusses three key themes.
The first theme is asset allocation, and we asked participants to detail which asset classes they are considering now, and in the future. Panellists also explored whether better data and benchmarks would allow them to allocate more to alternative credit - and the role that asset managers can play in supporting these transitions. Finally, this chapter examines what happens when an asset class becomes popular and how investors can continue to find value.
Chapter two looks at what is driving cross-border differences and what is holding investors back from moving into new areas? We asked panellists to share where they are looking to diversify across borders, what has been the experience with local regulators? Are they helpful or a hindrance?
The final chapter focused on the role that private debt and other alternatives play in helping insurers meet their ESG targets. Panellists examined why it can be hard to find suitable strategies and where the opportunities lie. Finally, the roundtable explored to what extent ESG ambitions are part of the asset allocation decision on which private debt category to allocate to.
