Exploring the IG private credit boom

Over the last decade, the investment grade (IG) private credit market has remained buoyant and somewhat immune to all the shocks thrown at it, thanks to its depth and breadth the IG private credit market has thrived.

This report explores the drivers of this boom, and how the asset class serves insurers' balance sheets.

This year's report is made up of three parts. The first is a roundtable of insurance stakeholders discussing current trends in the IG private credit space, notably the hype around private ABS.

The second part is a whitepaper by Nuveen looking at how proprietary sourcing and diversification can improve investment outcomes for insurers.

And the final part of the report consists of a series of interviews with investment leaders at insurance companies in the UK and the US comparing and contrasting the IG private markets on both sides of the pond.
