Our insurance team members Andrew Paone, CFA and Sarah Marschok Sidman had a fantastic time attending Insurance AUM's Insurance Investment Leaders’ Symposium in Chicago last week. Macro Strategist Juhi Dhawan brought insightful perspectives to the #Macro panel. We always enjoy spending time with our contacts and delving into pivotal topics impacting the industry. Some of the biggest takeaways we heard are: 1. The income is back in #fixed income. 2. Illiquidity seems to be the risk of choice for #insurers, particularly #private credit. 3. Opportunities in #commercial real estate beyond returning to the office. 4. Discussions around insurance #regulations never fail to engage and enlighten.
