A key component of insurance asset management is understanding the regulatory capital framework and how it impacts return on capital. Unlike an endowment/pension fund/family office, an insurance company has to post higher capital charges for fund investments (schedule BA assets) than something that is perceived to be safer like an investment grade bond (NAIC 1/2 schedule D asset). The nuances of insurance regulatory capital treatment are complex and evolving, but understanding the basic framework will help differentiate you.
Additionally, I would recommend understanding BX’s history in the space and jn particular its strategic relationships with Fidelity & Guarantee and Resolution. Look through F&G’s investor presentation and understand why certain BX products (CLOs/Real Estate) are used heavily in F&G’s portfolio.
Finally, learn about the competitive and growth landscape of the use alternatives in insurance portfolios. Pay particular attention to APO (Athene) and KKR (Global Atlantic).
Thanks! Really useful advice, I appreciate it. Any idea what exit ops would look like?
