Podcast overview
Staying ahead in the insurance industry requires a keen understanding of the regulatory horizon. This episode brings you analysis of the NAIC's latest developments from its Spring 2026 meeting. We break down the four strategic priorities guiding regulators, from enhancing capital frameworks to leading on AI governance. Learn about the practical impact of adopted changes – such as the new reinvestment tests for negative Interest Maintenance Reserve (IMR) – and get a first look at what’s being proposed for derivatives and funding agreements.
We also dissect the ongoing debates that will define future rules, including the appropriate rick-based capital (RBC) charges for collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) and collateral loans, as well as the push for greater transparency from third-party data vendors. This is your essential guide to the key accounting, actuarial and technological shifts on the NAIC's agenda. Tune in to equip your organization with the knowledge needed to navigate this period of significant transformation.
