Description: IFRS 17 will be effective as of 1 Jan 2023 and provide opportunities as well as challenges to both Direct Writers and Reinsurers across the insurance industry. If the new framework is not fully understood, an implementation can elevate the risk of problems in financial reporting, product development, investment management and more. The transition to IFRS provides an opportunity for companies to optimize the financial position of the enterprise by implementing mitigating strategies to reduce the risks and challenges that IFRS brings to the table.

Description: It's time to talk about Bermuda and Cayman as offshore jurisdictions for life reinsurance. Bermuda, a growing destination for life and annuity reinsurance over the last few years is developing significant changes to its regulatory framework. Asset, liability, and capital requirement will all change under proposed new rules. The changes will not only require rethinking of U.S. and international reinsurance ALM strategy and pricing, but also product strategy and pricing for primary insurers. Developing compelling ALM strategies and products under the evolving Bermuda regulatory framework is an interesting challenge for the U.S. and international insurers and reinsurers. In addition to Bermuda, the speakers will discuss the emerging Cayman life reinsurance market.
