Japan's life insurers set to buy JGBs in Oct-March, weigh risk returns

Quick Summary:

TOKYO : Japan's major life insurers are expected to continue purchasing Japanese government bonds (JGBs) into the second half of the fiscal year, but the pace and extent of these purchases will vary as firms strive to balance risk and return.

Nippon Life and Meiji Yasuda Life set 2.5 per cent as the upper limit in forecasts, while some others expected a high of only 2.4 per cent.

Meiji Yasuda Life was among companies planning to consider diversifying to include other assets as they evaluate return versus risk.
