Jerry Schlichter Quoted in Financial Times Article Examining Private Capital’s Growing Role in the Insurance Industry
Schlichter Bogard Co-Managing Partner Jerry Schlichter was quoted in a recent Financial Times article examining the increasing role of private capital firms in the insurance industry and the potential risks posed by affiliated investments and other private-market strategies.
The article focuses on the business empire of investor Mark Walter and broader industry trends involving private capital firms that have acquired insurance companies and invested policyholder assets in private credit and affiliated entities.
Addressing the retirement implications of these trends, Jerry emphasized that the stakes extend beyond sophisticated institutional investors. As quoted in the article, “This is not the traditional private credit or alternative investment by wealthy people who can afford to lose that money. These are average people who are depending on this for retirement for the rest of their lives.”
