Insurance Investment Briefing 2023 - Singapore (B) | AsianInvestor | 26 September 2023 | Casuarina Suite, Raffles, 1 Beach Rd, Singapore 189673, Singapore

Insurance companies are facing the challenge of adapting to a higher interest rate environment and persistent inflation, while also anticipating a looming global recession. In order to maintain a balanced and risk-averse portfolio, insurers are searching for reliable and diversified returns while navigating changes in accounting regulations such as IFRS 9 and 17. Additionally, they are striving to align with ESG objectives in a volatile business climate.

In this event, we will explore:
• What are the key learnings for insurance investors from 2023, and what are the top priorities when planning for 2024?
• How can investors balance the ALM mismatch and manage duration in a volatile, high-rate environment?
• To what extent will IFRS 17 and RBC considerations change the way insurers view asset allocation?
• Which private debt opportunities are particularly noteworthy for insurers, and how do they impact the overall portfolio?
• In the current market conditions, how will investors approach ESG considerations?
