Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the implications of rising national debt and suggests investing in life and retirement insurance companies as a protective measure against potential economic challenges posed by this debt [1][4]. Rising Debt and Economic Impact - The U.S. national debt has significantly increased, with a corresponding rise in the debt-to-GDP ratio, particularly during recessionary periods such as the 2008-2009 financial crisis and the pandemic [2]. - The response to rising debt has historically been increased spending and debt issuance, raising concerns about the sustainability of this approach [3]. Interest Rate Projections - Higher debt levels suggest that more debt issuance will occur, which could lead to rising long-term interest rates, potentially exceeding market expectations [6][7]. - The current market appears complacent regarding long-term interest rates, not pricing in significant risks associated with rising debt levels [7]. Investment Opportunities in Insurance Sector - In a rising interest rate environment, life and retirement insurers like Prudential Financial, MetLife, and Corebridge Financial may perform well, as they can invest in higher-yielding assets [8]. - These insurers typically hold a significant portion of their assets in low-risk investments, which will be affected by rising rates but will also allow them to purchase new assets at higher rates [10]. Asset Composition of Insurers - Prudential Financial holds 54.9% of its general account assets in publicly available fixed maturities, while MetLife has 31.6% in investment-grade corporate debt [12][13]. - Corebridge Financial has a substantial 97% of its assets in fixed income or short-term investments, positioning these companies favorably in a higher interest rate scenario [13]. Strategic Investment Considerations - While the debt issue is concerning, predicting interest rates remains challenging; however, investing in the insurance sector may be a prudent strategy for those worried about future public debt servicing costs [14].
