Evolving Partnerships in Life and Annuity Insurance

KBRA has published an in-depth analysis exploring the evolving partnerships between life and annuity insurers and asset managers. In early 2022, the agency identified challenges faced by insurers and highlighted how private equity and alternative asset managers have offered various solutions. This collaboration has spurred an increase in mergers and acquisitions, alongside heightened reinsurance activities, with established insurers and new companies transforming into significant players in the annuity sector due to higher business volumes. The expanding scope of transaction structures between investment firms and insurers presents new participant profiles and strategic motivations, contributing to the industry's long-term stability.
