EIOPA's New Supervisory Statement on Private Equity and (Re)Insurance Undertakings
19 October 2026
"Good supervision looks first and foremost at risks, not at who an insurer's owners are. Private equity-backed undertakings are subject to the same risk-based supervisory standards as any other insurer. But where new ownership structures or business models create increased complexity or additional risks, it is our responsibility to ensure those risks are properly supervised."
Petra Hielkema, EIOPA's Chair
