Episode 37: Loomis Sayles Multi-Asset Credit Portfolio: Global Diversification Across Credit-Focused Sectors

In this episode of the InsuranceAUM.com Podcast, host Stewart Foley, CFA, sits down with Andrea DiCenso of Loomis Sayles to discuss the ongoing search for yield in insurance portfolios. With rates at historic lows and central bank activity distorting markets, insurers are looking beyond traditional fixed income to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns.

Andrea shares insights on how a multi-asset credit approach can help insurers navigate global credit markets, taking into account factors like credit cycles, liquidity premiums, and relative value opportunities. She also discusses the role of market fragility indicators, how risk management tools can enhance portfolio positioning, and whether insurers are shifting away from sleeve-based mandates toward more dynamic, opportunistic strategies.
