An evolution of our previous series, “The Standard Formula,” which explored the regulatory and prudential solvency themes shaping the global (re)insurance sector, “The Practice Manual” will provide viewers with practical, step-by-step considerations on numerous reinsurance sector topics - such as the process of setting up a life insurance sidecar, performing a reinsurance-to-close transaction at Lloyd's, and how to continue to successfully navigate the global regulatory landscape.https://www.skadden.com/insights/podcasts/the-practice-manualfalseepisodicnopodcastLife (Re)insurance SidecarsLife (Re)insurance SidecarsOn the first episode of “The Practice Manual,” host Robert Chaplin is joined by colleagues Feargal Ryan, Caroline Jaffer and Theo Charalambous to examine life (re)insurance sidecars, including what they are, how they work and why they matter. The team analyzes the U.K.’s booming pension risk transfer market and the key parties involved — sponsors, investors and regulators — and assesses how sidecar vehicles may be structured. They also explore the central role of asset management in the sidecar space, with a particular focus on illiquid asset classes such as private credit and infrastructure loans, and the evolving dynamic between insurers and external asset managers.
