Its insurance businesses cover municipal, infrastructure, housing, utility, sovereign, mortgage-backed, and other structured transactions, while its asset management arm provides investment advisory services.
In Item 2, management said the company’s results and outlook are being shaped by a long list of market and operating variables, including interest rates, inflation, credit spreads, tariffs, foreign exchange, recession risk, geopolitical conflict, cyber risk, and liquidity conditions in banking and capital markets. The filing also pointed to risks tied to U.S. government shutdowns, possible payment stress on U.S. government-related debt, rating actions, competition, regulatory changes, legal decisions, climate-related developments, and the performance of its annuity reinsurance expansion.
