Commercial Real Estate - Assessing Insurers’ Short-Term and Long-Term Exposure
Real estate investments, including conventional mortgage loans and commercial mortgagebacked securities (CMBS), are a traditional asset class on insurers' balance sheets. These investments offer financial benefits, such as matching the duration of long-term mortgages with the long-term liabilities of life insurance companies. However, like any asset class, they come with risks and an evolving investment landscape. Recent challenges in the commercial real estate sector include the rise of hybrid and remote work and issues in some downtown areas. This event will explore the short- and long-term risks associated with insurer commercial real estate investments and how the industry and regulators are addressing these challenges. Additionally, we will discuss the significant role these investments play in community development and the broader economy.Â
