Strategic Asset Allocation and ALM in Insurance 2018 | Marcus Evans | 23 July 2018 | Marco Polo Hongkong Hotel, 3 Canton Rd, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong

In the shadow of the financial crisis and an era of adhering to strict regulatory capital requirements, many feel the insurance industry has become increasingly risk averse. However the need for yield means firms are beginning to recognize that this attitude is no longer sustainable. Insurance companies are seeking strategies that allow them to take the right kind of risk, achieving the yield they need whilst avoiding punitive capital charges or nervous senior stakeholders

This GFMI conference will show insurance companies how they can take strategic risk that will deliver healthy rewards. In depth case studies will discuss the asset classes you should be investing in and how to manage the risks associated with them. In addition firms will also get practical solutions to overcoming ALM risks and challenges, allowing them to minimize duration mismatches and consider how their products can be optimized for the current environment. The conference will also demonstrate how IFRS 17 and other upcoming regulations will impact insurers’ ALM and investment strategies.
