Sun Life | January 28, 2020
The asset management arm of insurance giant Sun Life Financial is planning its first middle-market private debt acquisition, according to a Reuters report. The newswire suggests that the move is part of a strategy of aiming to expand into higher-yielding investments. Randy Brown, head of insurance asset management at SLC Management, told Reuters that the firm will focus on higher-quality middle-market issuers with “strong covenant protection” and could also reallocate risk from elsewhere in its portfolio.
