European CIOs are accelerating allocations to private markets, from private credit and infrastructure to PE, securitisations and alternatives, transforming their relationships with managers in ways that are both unprecedented and irreversible. Public-market managers must adapt fast.
At the same time, private equity and asset management firms are taking ownership stakes in Europe's insurers, importing a model long seen in Bermuda and the US. This shift could reshape how managers, CIOs, and regulators interact, with major implications for outsourcing and competition across Europe.
This webinar will explore how these themes will evolve, what they mean for each party, and how other managers should respond, to 'defend' their business with Europe's underwriters.
Drawing on proprietary research from Insurance Risk Data's research report, 'Insurance Investment Outsourcing Opportunities - EEA, UK & Switzerland 2026', this webinar will provide attendees with unrivalled, proprietary insight into the key trends influencing re/insurers in Europe, their CIOs and their engagements with affiliated and independent asset managers.

- What are the keys to success in winning mandates for private-markets / directly-originated asset classes, from Europe’s insurers – and can other asset classes ‘withstand the push’ by CIOs to non-mainstream alternatives?
- Are PE houses stripping capital out of the European re/insurers they own, and should regulators be concerned they might?
- How ‘Solvency UK’ is shining a light on UK CIOs’ risk selection – and how outsourcing partners can exploit the newfound transparency
