Agenda (as of 10/24/19)

This study will focus on infrastructure investment as an asset class and the insurance industry's participation in the infrastructure market, including barriers and opportunities. We are initiating the study with a Request for Information (RFI) to gather information and input from market participants on key topics such as the definition of infrastructure, the market size for infrastructure assets, the historical credit performance of infrastructure investments, and the treatment of infrastructure investments by state insurance regulators.

• Infrastructure Investment Study - Request for Information
• A conference call, on October 18, 2019, discussed the proposed definition for Infrastructure Investments  The presentation for the call can be accessed here: Infrastructure Definition.
