This whitepaper by Hymans Robertson and Legal & General explores how UK life insurers can strategically integrate sub-investment grade (SIG) private debt—especially BB-rated credit—into Matching Adjustment (MA) portfolios following Solvency UK reforms.

  • BB private credit offers higher yields, sector diversification, ESG alignment, and structural protections.
  • Insurers must address challenges in data availability, risk management, and valuation frameworks.
