The Capital Stack

What Life Insurance Companies Want That Nobody Else Does


Listen Later

Life insurance companies are among the largest allocators to private markets — and among the least understood. Their capital comes with unique advantages and constraints that smart sponsors can leverage.

Insurers have long-dated liabilities, strict regulatory capital requirements, and return targets focused on beating their cost of liabilities by 100-200 bps — not chasing headline IRR. Understanding this changes how you structure and pitch.

Key topics: insurance company capital, life insurance investing, institutional investors, capital allocation, raising capital, private credit, infrastructure investing, real estate investing, yield-oriented strategies, duration matching, regulatory capital, alternative investments, LP investing, asset allocation, private equity, venture capital, fund managers, GP-LP relationships, wealth preservation, direct investments.

The Capital Stack — a daily briefing for anyone raising or allocating private capital: family offices, institutional investors, fund managers, and trusted advisors navigating the full investor landscape.
