Video: NAIC’s Judith French at Global Life Reinsurance 2026

Speaking on the sidelines of the InsuranceERM Global Life Reinsurance Conference in London on 4 June, Judith L. French, director of the Ohio Department of Insurance and member of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), discusses the regulatory response to key developments in the US life insurance sector.

This video explores supervisors' concerns around the growth of asset-intensive reinsurance and how regulatory frameworks are evolving to address associated risks.

She also examines the increasing allocation of insurers' portfolios to alternative assets, the implications for policyholder protection, and how regulators are balancing financial innovation with consumer safeguards.
