FT China Insurance Summit 2017 | Financial Times | 22 June 2017 | Beijing, China, East Asia

Managing Risks and Seizing the Opportunitie, China’s insurance industry has been dominated by growth. An aging population, relatively low penetration rates, rapid urbanisation and a growing middleclass drives up the demand for traditional insurance and investment linked products. But with rising liabilities, insurance companies in search for higher yields amid an uncertain investment climate could be putting their earnings and solvency position at risk.

Since the launch of C-ROSS, the China Insurance Regulatory Commission (CIRC) is shifting the emphasis from industry growth towards raising risk management capabilities. Having a sound asset-liability management scheme to effectively measure and manage risks and optimise asset allocation is ever more important to remain competitive. Leveraging the latest technology will also be essential to meet financial objectives going forward.

The FT China Insurance Summit will bring together leading insurers, regulators, asset managers and technology experts – from China and beyond – to discuss how to navigate increasing regulatory pressures, generate high investment returns amid low interest rates, manage risks and develop cost-effective strategies to stay ahead of the competition in the digital era.
