Marsh Survey Reveals That Insurers’ Private Credit Appetite Continues to Grow, but Discipline Remains Paramount
Marsh's 2026 Global Insurance Investments Survey found that 57% of insurers plan to increase private credit exposure over the next 12 to 24 months, identifying it as the leading area for planned investment growth. Despite this strong appetite, a capability gap persists, with only 30% of respondents reporting they have the necessary private markets capabilities to invest with confidence.
