Insurance Regulation

Over the past few years, insurance companies, which invest policy fees to ensure they can meet policy liabilities, have made increasingly large allocations of their assets to hedge funds.  As policymakers look to reduce and mitigate risk in all financial sectors, reforms to the regulation of insurance companies will also have an impact on the hedge fund managers with which they invest.  In particular, the new requirements to be introduced will increase the capital requirements for allocations made to such asset classes and require more rigorous data reporting.
