On February 11, the NAIC’s Risk-Based Capital Investment Risk and Evaluation Working Group provided an update on two topics of critical interest to US insurers: a project aimed at modeling CLOs to create standalone capital charges and a proposal to align capital charges across different fixed income vehicles. In our latest Insurance Quick Takes video, Tim Antonelli, Head of Multi-Asset Strategy – Insurance and Portfolio Manager, shares his thoughts on these initiatives, including:
- The CLO modeling approach being developed by the American Academy of Actuaries, how it will support a wide range of scenarios, and next steps in the project
