Abstract

While the insurance industry has been subject to stresses recently, it is unlikely to affect the stability of the U.S. financial system in the near term. During the prolonged low-interest rate environment, certain investment strategies were adopted, widely, by insurers in an attempt to boost yields. However, enhanced yields do not come without trade-offs, such as increased risk and reduced liquidity. We explain three insurance industry investment trends of which policymakers should be mindful.
