CIPR Journal Club - Sectoral Asset Concentrations and Insurance Solvency Regulation
CIPR Journal Club: Sectoral Asset Concentrations and Insurance Solvency Regulation
Monday, July 14th at 12:00pm Central
Join CIPR on July 14th at 12:00 CDT for the next installment of our Journal Club webinar series. Each Journal Club features a guided discussion of one article from our Journal of Insurance Regulation. These sessions are interactive, and attendees are encouraged to turn on their cameras, unmute, and engage in the conversation.
We will be discussing 鈥,鈥 by Fabian Regele and Helmut Gr眉ndl (both at the International Center for Insurance Regulation (ICIR), Goethe-University, Frankfurt). The paper analyzes how sectoral asset concentrations affect insurer solvency. The authors find that concentrations in public sector assets enhance solvency, while those in real estate weaken it. Since current regulations do not consider these effects, the authors advocate for revised capital requirements and greater disclosure to address the systemic risks of sector-specific investments.
Please review the article before the webinar and bring your questions and observations. A brief executive summary is provided at the beginning of the article for your convenience.

About the 海角论坛
As part of our state-based system of insurance regulation in the United States, the 海角论坛 (海角论坛) provides expertise, data, and analysis for insurance commissioners to effectively regulate the industry and protect consumers. The U.S. standard-setting organization is governed by the chief insurance regulators from the 50 states, the District of Columbia and five U.S. territories. Through the 海角论坛, state insurance regulators establish standards and best practices, conduct peer reviews, and coordinate regulatory oversight. 海角论坛 staff supports these efforts and represents the collective views of state regulators domestically and internationally.
