5th Insurance Linked Securities Summit
New Investment Strategies for Catastrophe Bonds, Longevity Risk and Life Settlements
January 28-30, 2009, Millennium Broadway Hotel, New York, NY
Insurance linked securities, whether in the form of catastrophe bonds or synthetic life settlements, offer investors both a high potential for growth and a diversified and uncorrelated asset. Following a landmark year in 2007, the catastrophe bond market has faced challenges in 2008. With insurance prices softening, bond issuances are down and the need to find value and the appropriate risk level is paramount. It is in times like these that innovation prevails, and the convergence of the reinsurance and capital markets is poised to respond. Meanwhile, the life settlement products market is growing at a rapid pace, with sophistication in products increasing to fulfill the demand of an increasingly sophisticated investor base. With the support of capital market financing, the insurance and life settlement industries are set to become one of the most lucrative markets in the coming years. The need to transfer risk and the appetite to take on risk will always be present, and the insurance-linked securities industry has the potential for innovation to develop the solutions to survive any market cycle.
