What New Article Really Shows
Insurers aren’t planning to increase private‑asset exposure — they already have. A new article published March 20, 2026 in InsuranceNewsNet simply quantifies what we’ve been tracking: 88% of insurers now expect private assets to exceed 10% of their portfolios within two years.
That’s a headline, but it’s not a revelation. It’s confirmation.
Schedule BA: Where the Shift Was Visible All Along
Anyone following insurer filings — especially Schedule BA, the U.S. statutory category for “Other Long‑Term Invested Assets” — has seen this migration unfolding for years. Schedule BA is where private‑equity fund interests, private‑credit vehicles, joint ventures, affiliated structures, and other Level 3 assets show up long before anyone writes a survey‑driven story.
📎 Sidebar: What Schedule BA Doesn’t Stand For
Schedule BA doesn’t stand for British Airways, and it definitely won’t get you upgraded on your next flight to LHR or LGW. It’s simply the U.S. statutory bucket for “Other Long‑Term Invested Assets,” the place where insurers park private‑equity funds, private‑credit vehicles, joint ventures, and other Level 3 holdings long before anyone writes a headline. If you want to see the shift before the surveys catch up, this is where it shows up first.
The Pattern Is the Story
Surveys don’t reveal the trend — they just add another data point to the same direction of travel. The filings have been telling this story for years. Today simply adds one more brick to the pile.
Rock and roll.
