It’s A New Year But the Challenges Continue; Nine Things to Monitor

 

HARTFORD, CT – February 26, 2021 –Leading global investment management firm Conning has published a list of key regulatory and related issues for insurers to be aware of as the new year begins, offering insight on the challenges as well as steps the firm is taking to help clients manage potential changes.

 

Cindy Beaulieu, a Managing Director, Chair of Conning’s Investment Policy Committee and the report author, said that the new year is expected to be less volatile than the pandemic-driven 2020 but that insurers still face a number of challenges. The report covers nine significant issues for insurers to be aware of, from changes in NAIC risk-based capital charges and potential tax reform to CECL implementation and new fiduciary standards.

 

“The new Biden administration is also expected to present a more demanding regulatory environment, although there have been no new policies introduced yet,” Ms. Beaulieu said. “We continue to monitor the issues that may affect insurers and look for opportunities and ideas to enhance their risk-adjusted returns.”
