The company will be a net beneficiary of rising interest rates in the long run as it can reinvest its maturing fixed-income securities at a higher yield.
Prudential has clearly laid out plans to reduce exposure to riskier products like variable annuities with minimum guarantees and has increased investments in segments with steadier cash flows like the investment management business.
The regulatory uncertainty surrounding the nonbank SIFI designation and the fiduciary rule appears to be resolved in the company's favor.
