Excerpt:
U.S. insurers’ exposure to CLOs increased significantly over the last few years, as they have represented
an attractive alternative investment with higher yields than traditional investments. As of year-end
2021, U.S. insurers’ exposure to CLOs collateralized predominantly by leveraged bank loans and middle
market loans increased by 12% to $216.3 billion in BACV from $192.9 billion at year-end 2020 and $156.9 billion at year-end 2019 (see Chart 1). However, the pace of growth has slowed from 23% and
28% at year-end 2020 and year-end 2019, respectively.
