AIMA APAC is pleased to invite you to a webinar on 8 August 2023.

In 2022 – all major asset classes experienced significant drawdowns, putting investors’ portfolios to a true test. In the hunt for true diversifiers, investors are increasingly looking at alternatives to shore up their portfolios. 2022 was a significant year for Insurance Linked Securities, as the asset class proved their uncorrelated nature to traditional asset classes. Despite Major Hurricane Ian making landfall in Florida at the end of September, certain strategies were able to return solid returns to their investors, proving the attractive spread levels that prevail in ILS.

As such, the asset class experienced large dislocations due to an increasing gap between demand for insurance protection and supply of capital to support it. This led to the biggest spreads, or generational hard pricing as the industry calls it, seen since the early 1990s. As a result, we have seen an increasing level of interest in ILS as this presents the best opportunity to get into the asset class and add a true diversifier to your portfolio.

This webinar is looking to provide insights into the asset class and answer the following questions:

• What are Insurance Linked Securities and what are the differences between Public ILS (Cat Bonds) and Private ILS
• How can an investor get access to this asset class?
• What risk/return profiles are available in ILS?
• What should investors look for in an ILS manager?
• How does climate change impact ILS?
• What does the future hold?

Speakers:

• Michael Gallagher, Managing Director, Head of Australia, AIMA
• Jonas Muir Wood, Portfolio Manager, Hiscox ILS
