Insurers are particularly interested in allocating to investment-grade direct lending and private placements (40%) and investment-grade structured credit, asset-based finance, net asset value (NAV) lending, and fund finance (38%).<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Private credit is a compelling opportunity for insurers, especially in the asset-backed space. Insurers can diversify away from corporate risk while realizing meaningful yield pickup over similar rated, investment-grade public market bonds,\u201d said David Morrow, Mercer\u2019s Global Insurance Proposition Leader.<\/p>\n<p>\nAppetite for private credit remains particularly strong in North America. In the United States, 65% of insurers surveyed plan to increase allocations, while Canada shows stronger demand, with 74% of respondents planning to increase allocations. Only about half of insurers based in Europe (51%) and the UK (46%) plan to increase allocations.<\/p>\n<p>\nInterest in private credit is more pronounced at the larger end of the market, with 81% of insurers with more than $25 billion in assets planning to increase allocations compared with 46% of those with less than $25 billion. Life insurers (73%) were more likely to allocate than Health (56%) and P&amp;C (40%).<\/p>\n<p><b>Attuned to private credit\u2019s risks<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nInsurers are acutely aware of the risks associated with private credit. The most cited concerns with the asset class are a reduction in illiquidity premium and tighter spreads (66%), signaling that investors want to ensure they are being adequately compensated for private credit\u2019s liquidity constraints. The other most cited areas of caution include deteriorating underwriting standards or covenants (54%) and rising defaults, spreads, or payment-in-kind (PIK) structures (51%), which would point to borrower distress or deteriorating lending standards as the market matures.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cCapitalizing on the benefits of private credit will require insurers to have a rigorous process for manager selection. It will be important for them to choose managers who demonstrate sourcing, underwriting, portfolio construction and workout capability to navigate the next phase of the credit cycle,\u201d said Amit Popat, Mercer\u2019s Global Head of Financial Institutions.<\/p>\n<p><b>The private markets capability gap<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThe survey shows a clear gap between insurers\u2019 interest in private markets and their readiness to act on opportunities. Only 30% of respondents report having \u201cmost\u201d of the private markets capabilities they need to invest with confidence, while 29% have only \u201csome\u201d of the capabilities needed.<\/p>\n<p>\nThis lack of resources limits insurers&#8217; ability to allocate, sufficiently diversify private market allocations, and maintain appropriate allocations through continued due diligence. As appetite grows, insurers may look to investment partnerships to help them decipher the market and provide expertise in evaluating managers, modeling cash flows, understanding capital treatment, managing liquidity, and supporting execution.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cEven the largest insurers recognize they don\u2019t have all the capabilities or origination capacity in-house and are looking to outside private credit managers to help fill gaps and boost risk-adjusted yields,\u201d said Josh Zwick, a Partner in Oliver Wyman\u2019s Insurance and Asset Management Practice. \u201cEveryone is looking to build out their capabilities, and that often means finding partners that can help navigate the complexities across different parts of the sprawling private credit market.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>AI is playing a limited role in insurers\u2019 investment operations<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThe capability gap is showing up in another way: how insurers are using AI. More than half of insurers (54%) say they are not using AI in a meaningful way. Fewer than a third (29%) use it to analyze alternative investment data and research. The most immediate AI applications in investment teams are data integration, scenario generation, document review, manager monitoring, and risk analysis.<\/p>\n<p>\nScale is a major determinant of AI use. Most (75%) of those managing over $100bn report meaningful use of AI, yet only about 10% of those managing less than $1bn report the same.<\/p>\n<p><b>About the Marsh 2026 Global Insurance Investments Survey<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThe <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mercer.com%2Finsights%2Finvestments%2Fmarket-outlook-and-trends%2FGlobal-Insurance-Investment-Survey%2F&amp;esheet=54571826&amp;newsitemid=20260716822554&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=2026+Global+Insurance+Investment+Survey&amp;index=3&amp;md5=990fbd8ea40ed6a24884f1db2af68e31\">2026 Global Insurance Investment Survey<\/a> was conducted between March and April 2026.
