“As the Company holds a significant amount of fixed maturity securities issued by borrowers located in many different parts of the world, its financial results are directly influenced by global financial markets.

Market volatility and recessionary pressures could result in significant realized or unrealized losses due to severe price declines driven by high interest rates or increases in credit spreads, defaults in payment of principal or interest, or credit rating downgrades.”

“Life science industry dynamics The life science industry is undergoing a prolonged period of structural and cyclical challenges that may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The venture capital ecosystem that supports early-stage platform development has experienced several years of contraction as investors look to more de-risked later-stage assets that may not require significant R&D laboratory requirements. Additionally, historical performance data increasingly shows that life science venture capital returns have underperformed relative to technology-focused funds and broader public market indices. While a small number of firms have consistently outperformed, the majority of life science-focused funds have delivered uneven results, leading institutional investors, including endowments, foundations, and pension funds, to reassess their long-term allocations to the sector.”
