Insurance Authority hosts the third edition of Insurance-linked Securities Conference

On 22 April 2026, the Insurance Authority convened the third Insurance-linked Securities Conference, attracting over 120 institutional investors, reinsurers, insurers, and professional service providers to facilitate insights and partnerships.

Strategic Market Positioning

IA Chairman Mr Stephen Yiu noted that alternative investments are increasingly sought by institutional investors for balanced risk-adjusted returns amidst uncertainty, driven by substantial capital inflows into ILS products. He highlighted Hong Kong's unique advantages, including its sophisticated financial market, Mainland connectivity, and support for approximately 3,380 family offices, positioning the region to promote alternative risk transfer tools.

Conference Proceedings

Three panel discussions addressed the global and Asian ILS ecosystems, the strategic integration of ILS in institutional asset allocation, and practical insights to rectify common misperceptions.
