Summary
InsuranceAUM, affiliated with The Institutes, announced the 2026 Insurers' Private Credit Forum, scheduled for Nov. 12–13, 2026, in Austin, Texas, according to a Business Wire release. The event focuses exclusively on private credit and asset-based finance, which the organizer describes as asset classes playing an increasingly important role in insurers' long-term investment strategies.
Now in its third year, the forum brings together insurance company CIOs, portfolio managers and investment professionals for two days of discussions, curated one-on-one meetings and peer collaboration. The event is built by LPs for LPs and emphasizes education and relationship building over traditional conference presentations. The 2026 edition adds an expanded LP-led agenda, educational roundtable discussions and a special keynote, while retaining its 2:1 LP-to-GP ratio and pre-scheduled meetings with investment managers.
Kenyatta Matheny, Chief Investment Officer, and Randell Beamon III, CFA, CAIA, both of EquiTrust Life Insurance Company, will serve as co-chairs and are helping shape an agenda focused on challenges facing insurance allocators. The keynote will be delivered by Michel Léonard, Ph.D., CBE, Chief Economist and Data Scientist at the Insurance Information Institute (Triple-I). Léonard is expected to address how private credit fits within a portfolio alongside equities, fixed income and other private strategies, as well as recent regulatory scrutiny and market concerns surrounding the asset class.
InsuranceAUM also encourages senior leaders to bring junior team members. Registration is complimentary for qualified insurance asset owners, and attendance is limited to preserve the forum's relationship-driven format. Details are available at insuranceaum.com.
