    How KDOI Protects Insurance Policyholders
     
    If you’ve been noticing newspaper articles and other information about private credit markets and the shadow banking system, you’re not alone. Such articles are starting to appear frequently, and the overall situation is evolving rapidly and gaining attention. It is only recently that private credit - which is part of the shadow banking system and an unregulated part of the financial markets - has been allowed into the general accounts of major life insurance companies.
     
    In this presentation Tish Becker, Director of Financial Surveillance at the Kansas Department of Insurance, will discuss insurers’ investment in private credit and how insurance regulators assess the risk.
