On 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.
