The U.K.’s investment rules for insurers and reinsurers have become particularly interesting due to recent proposals for reform relating to U.K. sovereignty and the ESG movement.
In this episode of “The Standard Formula” podcast, host and Skadden partner Rob Chaplin is joined by colleagues Ben Lyon and Verena Mengis. Tune in as Ben and Verena delve into a wealth of topics, including the prudent person principle (PPP) in the context of the U.K.'s Solvency II investment rules. Discover the key aspects of PPP and how it applies to insurers' and reinsurers' asset portfolios. Learn about investment rules specific to derivatives, securitizations and assets held to cover linked policies, along with related regulatory changes and their impact on the insurance sector. The episode concludes with a critical discussion on sustainability risks and the integration of ESG concerns into investment rules.
