Artemis ILS Asia 2017

Our second ILS Asia conference saw 170 attendees visiting the iconic Marina Bay Sands complex in Singapore, with a mix of mature ILS market participants and regional ceding companies, service providers and both local and international investors represented.

Speakers and attendees both cited the need for ongoing education about the ILS options available to the Asian market, as well as for investors to grasp a good understanding of the ILS asset class.

The day featured speakers from around the globe, with ILS and collateralized reinsurance experts, ILS fund managers, service providers, ceding companies and local market participants all playing a role in the discussions that happened on stage.

About Artemis ILS Asia 2017

July 13th 2017, 08:00 – 19:30 (including networking drinks reception)

The insurance-linked securities (ILS) market represents a growing asset class of investors accessing the returns of insurance and reinsurance risk, through instruments such as catastrophe bonds, collateralised reinsurance, ILS funds and sidecars.

As the ILS asset class grows it looks to expand its reach, both in terms of the risks underwritten and invested in, as well as by increasing the investor base. Asia is a natural expansion, as ILS players and markets look to access new cedents and capital sources.

Tickets are available now for ILS Asia 2017, register to attend.

We're holding our conference in Singapore, as a central transport hub in Asia with an active reinsurance market and capital market investor community.
