New private letter rule brings improved risk assessment
In a long-anticipated move, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) has enacted a new set of rules changing how risk rating rationales are created and reported for private credit investments called private placements.
A complementary source for additional yield: Investment Grade Private Credit
Buying and holding investment grade private credit to maturity could provide a reliable income stream that can complement a core fixed income portfolio and help meet almost every institution’s needs
Portfolio protection where fixed income may fall short
Combining volatility-based stabilization of the equity portfolio with private approaches to part of the debt portfolio can be a win-win combination for many institutional investors.
An under-appreciated private debt opportunity: Commercial Mortgage Loans
There is a strong case for replacing a portion of an existing investment grade corporate bond allocation with a CML allocation.
Reliably improving the risk/return ratio
A permanent allocation to volatility-based risk mitigation is a strategic necessity for institutional investors
Private placement investing
Private placement bonds allow fixed income investors the potential to expand their opportunity set and consistently improve their total returns.
Managed volatility strategies
Mitigating downside risk can lead to capturing stronger returns.
