2ndInsurance Linked SecuritiesSummit TM
EuropeDear Colleague,
Welcome to IQPC’s 2nd ILS Summit Europe - the most important date of the year forEuropean investors interested in the returns and diversification benefits of insurance-linkedsecurities and life settlements.
2010 promises to be an exciting year for the market. On the non-life side, insurance-linkedsecurities fared well in 2009, with around $3billion issued in the midst of an extremelychallenging economic environment. Going into 2010 the stage is set for growth, with thevolume of new issuance and the emergence of new investors expected to increase in tandem.In Europe, the development of EU-wide market loss indices looks set to expand the market inEuropean ILS and ILWs by enabling new transparency and more standardised instruments.Most commentators predict a total of $4-6billion of new issuances over the course of theyear.
Several challenges still remain, however. Firstly, although transparency is improving, thereare still a number of areas where it lags behind other asset classes – in the pricing ofinsurance-linked instruments, for example, and in the formulation and selection of lossestimates. Greater transparency in these and other areas will be necessary before we see adramatic improvement in the willingness of institutional investors to allocate capital.On the life side, the US regulatory landscape continues to evolve rapidly and remains anarea of concern for European investors. The shifting dynamics between the NAIC andNCOIL regulatory paradigms, combined with the possibility of SEC and/or other federaloversight, are of critical importance to the willingness of European investors to allocatecapital. Innovation on the life side remains strong, however, with new developments insynthetics, fusion products and shari’ah compliant longevity investments continuing to pushthe envelope and broaden the investor base.
These and many other critical issues will be explored and debated at the 2nd ILS SummitEurope, providing investors with the information they need to invest effectively, profitably,and with confidence.
Kind regards,
Toby DonovanProgram [email protected]

What you will learn:• Understand how catastrophe models combine actuarial science,
