Pacific Life
Impact of an Extended Low‑Interest Environment
When the low-interest environment first began around 2009/2010, very few of us had any idea how long it would last. What are life insurance carriers focused on moving forward? What are the trends and how does the life insurance industry invest differently? The webinar will explore the following topics: U.S. and global backdrop, managing yield versus stability, crediting rates, investing for general accounts through a pandemic, Pacific Life’s general account portfolio, and finding opportunities in today’s capital markets.
Join Tod Nasser and Bill Bell to learn how the current environment has changed the focus of life insurance carriers’ investing and what to pay attention to in the near future.
This webinar may provide up to 1 hour of CPE, CFP, PRP, and IWI credit* and is intended for accounting professionals, attorneys, employee benefits providers, trust officers, asset managers, and other centers of influence. See details below.
