The PRA’s role in improving the processes that support insurers’ investment – speech by Charlotte Gerken
25 November 2021
The speech was given at the Insurance Asset Management Conference. Insurers play a key role as investors in the UK economy says Charlotte Gerken.
Charlotte talks about the Prudential Regulation Authority’s role in the review of Solvency II. As part of this review, she says, there is an opportunity to consider reforms that will support insurers to invest.
She sets out some of the areas the PRA is looking at that may improve all stages of the investment process; and she explains what the PRA expects of insurers when it comes to managing investment risk.
