# BlackRock's "2025 Global Insurance Report": 30% of surveyed insurers plan to increase private equity allocation

> BlackRock's "2025 Global Insurance Report" shows that inflation is the primary macro risk for insurance companies, with 30% of surveyed insurance professionals planning to increase private equity allocations, and 58% planning to maintain current levels. Overall risk appetite is low, with only 12% planning to increase risk exposure. In the Asia-Pacific region, 79% of insurance professionals plan to maintain or increase allocations to the private market, and 64% list diversified alternative strategies as expansion targets. The survey covered 463 investment professionals managing assets totaling $23 trillion

According to the Zhitong Finance APP, BlackRock has released the "2025 Global Insurance Report," stating that inflation has once again become the primary macro risk for insurance companies (63%). Overall risk appetite remains low, with only 12% of respondents planning to increase their risk exposure in 2025. Nevertheless, allocations to private markets continue to rise—30% of surveyed insurance professionals plan to increase their private market allocations, while 58% plan to maintain their current levels. This reflects a structural trend of insurance companies increasingly turning to private market investments, unaffected by interest rate cycles. Among these, private credit, infrastructure, and diversified alternative strategies remain the most favored investment areas.

In the Asia-Pacific region, 79% of insurance professionals plan to maintain or increase their private market allocations in the next 12 months. Notably, 64% of insurance professionals list diversified alternative strategies as their primary expansion target, significantly higher than their counterparts in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (52%) and North America (37%). In the public markets, regional insurance professionals prefer derivatives (39%), government bonds (39%), and municipal bonds (37%), indicating that the industry is balancing safe investments with flexible risk management tools to quickly adjust and optimize their portfolios in response to market uncertainties.

Hiro Shimizu, Deputy Head of BlackRock Asia-Pacific and Head of Institutional Business for the region, stated that insurance companies in the Asia-Pacific region are particularly focused on diversified alternative investment strategies, allowing them to achieve more effective diversification of their private asset portfolios. In the face of ongoing market volatility, this diversified investment strategy demonstrates their emphasis and commitment to long-term resilience and growth.

The report surveyed 463 senior investment professionals across 33 markets, representing $23 trillion in managed assets, with respondents from the Asia-Pacific region accounting for 25%, managing over $7 trillion in assets
