Bhuyan & Co.Franz-Philippe PrzybylCEOAlphaBridge CapitalScott GrossfeldPresident and Chief FinancialOfficerLiving Benefits Financial GroupIn recent years, insurance-linked securities have emerged as animportant new asset class for investors in Europe and the United States.Whether in the form of catastrophebonds, life settlements, or otherevent-linked investments, insurance-linked securities have becomeincreasingly attractive due to theirhealthy returns and low-correlationwith broader financial markets.At a time of increasing economicuncertainty, non-correlatedinvestments – that is, those that areentirely insulated from the greedand fear of traditional market cycles – make more sense than ever ininstitutional portfolios. But knowledge of ILS remains piecemeal outsidethe States and Europe, and manyAsian investors have still not had theasset class explained to them in asatisfactory way.IQPC has been a pioneer of conferences in this sector, helping to growthe asset class by bringing marketparticipants into contact with a wide,diverse range of investors. Now we’re doing the same for Asia-Pacific,bringing together an elite facultyof experts in life settlements, catbonds, and risk-linked securities forthe benefit of Asian investors.Please take a moment to look through the attached agenda, and thenmake the decision to join me in Hong Kong this October – anoutstanding opportunity to enrichyour knowledge of this important,non-correlated asset class.Attendee Breakdown by Company Type:555 16% Insurance andReinsurance Companies15 8%Banks 8%Life SettlementCompanies 8%Law Firms 15% Institutional Investors 5% 32% Hedge Funds & otherAsset ManagementGroupsLE Providers &Underwriters 5%Modeling Agencies 5%Other8328Kind regards,816Alex SimonProgram Director, Finance ConferencesIQPCAttendee Breakdown by Region:81238202www.ilsasiasummit.com 1-800-882-86841210 38% 10% 12% 20% 12% 8%Asia ex-JapanJapanAustralia and New ZealandUSAEuropePersian Gulf States
