EAA Web Session: Modern Capital Market Concepts for Life and Pension Products
Announcement from the EAA organiser:
Due to the recent shifts in capital markets and a stricter regulatory environment, insurers need to rethink their product offerings to stay ahead of the competition and offer life and savings solutions well suited to the various requirements of policyholders. This includes the need for capital guarantees in combination with strong performance engines and the focus on new and alternative asset classes as underlying for insurance policies.
In this web session, we will introduce participants to market-linked insurance products and provide an overview of the developing product landscape across different European countries.
We will focus on an analysis of some major product categories including hybrids, index-linked policies, private market products and market-linked annuities. How can such products be constructed efficiently? What are the current challenges and how can they be addressed? How should these products be positioned to make them attractive to both insurers and policyholders?
The web session concludes with an outlook of where the market will be headed and how insurers need to further develop their product offering.
