Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) to deliver keynote at ILS Asia 2024

With our ILS Asia 2024 conference in Singapore being held in less than two months, on July 11th, we are now delighted to announce that the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), the central bank and financial regulatory authority, will join us again to start the day.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) will deliver an opening keynote address on the day of the conference, to update our attendees on activities of relevance to the catastrophe bond and insurance-linked securities (ILS) marketplace and how the regulator views the market today.

Please register to attend ILS Asia 2024 soon, to take advantage of the best possible rates.

When we held our first Artemis ILS Asia conference in the country back in 2016, the Singapore ILS regulatory regime and grant scheme did not exist.

But today, the country has a growing ILS industry and has become the domicile of choice for numerous special purpose reinsurance vehicles, that have been established under its laws to issue catastrophe bonds and other ILS arrangements.

In fact, this year we have begun to see the first renewals of catastrophe bonds issued in Singapore, as sponsors undertake their second takedowns from those structures. Three renewal cat bonds that use a Singapore based SPRV have been issued so far in 2024.

As ILS activity continues and investor interest grows in the asset class across the Asia Pacific region, we are excited to be returning to Singapore for our sixth in-person insurance-linked securities (ILS) conference held in the country, ILS Asia 2024, taking place on July 11th.

With now less than two months to go, there are still some Early Bird tickets available, but we urge you to register soon to secure your place at the upcoming conference.

We are delighted to welcome back Mr. Lim Cheng Khai, Executive Director, Financial Markets Development Department, from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), who will join us on the day to deliver a keynote address to start the conference.

His department at MAS works to promote a vibrant financial market in Singapore, focusing on the development of the capital market, asset management and insurance sectors, as well as expanding infrastructure and trade finance capabilities.

Mr. Lim Cheng Khai works alongside industry partners to achieve these goals, through partnership with key financial institutions and industry associations to support the growth of Singapore’s financial markets and strengthen its proposition as a gateway to serve Asia’s capital raising and financing needs.

We look forward to welcoming Mr. Lim Cheng Khai back to our event and hearing his opening keynote at our ILS Asia 2024 conference.

Please register today to secure the Early Bird rate so you can join us and hear from numerous expert ILS focused speakers, as well as regional reinsurance guests.

We’re trying to create the kind of conference that we would want to attend ourselves, mixing insightful content, great speakers, a forward-thinking outlook with quality networking.

Artemis ILS Asia 2024 will look to inspire, inform, connect the dots, spark ideas, facilitate networking and offer experienced executives a chance to reflect on what has gone well and what challenges or opportunities lie ahead in mobilizing the capital markets to invest in insurance risk.

This is a thought-leadership event, designed to attract those interested in concepts related to insurance-linked securities, catastrophe bonds, the convergence of reinsurance with capital markets, risk transfer, the future of this growing market and people who recognise the unique opportunity to network with ILS stalwarts and thought-leaders.

Meet senior executives from insurance or reinsurance companies, catastrophe bond and ILS fund managers, pension investors, asset managers, hedge funds, service providers, technology start-ups, investment bankers and more.

Our conference will provide exposure in front of a highly relevant, senior and specialised group of attendees on the day. Plus you’ll benefit from exposure in front of our entire global readership, which averages more than 70,000 individuals every month.

To ensure you are able to attend the day please be sure to book your place soon.

We look forward to seeing you in Singapore in July 2024!
