Growth, Competition and Capital: What’s Next for Life & Annuity Insurers

Oct. 27, 2026

,

The life and annuity industry continues to build on strong growth, but the landscape is becoming more complex. Evolving product demand, shifting demographics and longevity trends, new sources of capital, increased competition, and a changing market environment are reshaping how insurers think about growth, risk, and investment strategy.

Join Conning's Richard Sbaschnig and Matt Reilly for a timely discussion on the forces shaping the life and annuity industry and what they mean for insurers’ investment portfolios. They will explore how industry trends are influencing portfolio construction, where opportunities are emerging across public and private markets, and how insurers are balancing yield, liquidity, capital efficiency, and risk as portfolios evolve.

The discussion will connect the outlook for the insurance business with the investment decisions that may help shape the next phase of profitable growth.
