Inaugural Artemis ILS Asia 2016 Forum draws keen interest

Over 170 delegates, including a good mix of ceding companies, protection providers (including many SRA members), ILS fund managers, service providers, investors, lawyers as well as regulators, attended the inaugural ILS Asia 2016 Forum organised by Artemis at the iconic Raffles Hotel Singapore on 13 July 2016.  

Many of the delegates were keen to hear the perspectives of the speakers, drawn from across the global ILS and reinsurance market, as well as the local market, on the potential for ILS market growth in Asia. While most seemed to agree that there was great potential for growth of the ILS market, particularly given the size and potential of the Chinese and Indian markets, it was also widely acknowledged that much still needed to be done in the next five to ten years to educate the markets and prepare the necessary regulatory and legal infrastructure to facilitate ILS market development.
