Hong Kong remains a dynamic region despite a backdrop of what is shaping up as a challenging year with the anticipation of a global economic slowdown. There are signs of global growth decelerating as the higher-for-longer interest rate environment, persistent inflation, and escalating geopolitical conflicts weigh on economic activity. Furthermore, the insurance industry is poised for a seismic shift as companies gear up for a new RBC regime. Against this backdrop, insurance investors are diligently preparing and actively seeking avenues that offer reliable returns and diversification.
This event will bring together a select group of senior investment leaders in the insurance space to discuss keys to building a resilient portfolio in the current environment and share insights on managing regulatory changes and sustainability targets.
In this event, we will explore:
• What are the top priorities for insurance investors in 2024?
• How will RBC, IFRS 9&17 affect short- and long-term investment decisions?
• To what extent will insurers look to diversify through private markets opportunities?
• What are the main challenges to effective ESG investing, and how can they be overcome?
• How can insurers ensure net zero commitments are put into action?
