BlackRock Inc. said insurance executives overseeing $29 trillion plan to pour more money into private debt and credit strategies while cutting back on private equity and real estate.
Of 378 senior insurance executives surveyed by BlackRock, 89% said they plan to invest more in private markets during the next two years, according to a report set for publication Wednesday. Within private assets, they expressed the most enthusiasm for direct lending, with 60% of those surveyed planning to boost allocations.
“Insurers still want to increase their allocations to private markets — they still broadly feel like they are under-allocated,” Mark Erickson, global head of BlackRock’s financial institutions group, said in a phone interview. But given market volatility and disruptions in private equity and real estate, he added, “There is some greater selectivity.”
“In the world before 2022, where every bond was in an unrealized-gain position, you could rotate whenever you saw the opportunity,” Erickson said. “Now that you are sitting on unrealized losses, now you don’t have the freedom to do that.”
