Legal & General (L&G) has entered a private credit partnership with Blackstone.
L&G said the partnership would help it strengthen in two areas targeted by CEO Antonio Simoes: the United States and private credit.
Furthermore, it said its annuities business would access investment-grade credit assets via Blackstone, particularly in the US, investing billions of pounds over time by putting in up to 10% of the unit's new business flows.
"L&G will benefit from a more diverse pipeline of assets for our annuity book, and growth in asset management as we develop more sophisticated investment solutions for clients around the world," Simoes said.
