About
Are you positioned to take full advantage of new and emerging foreign markets, negotiate and draft increasingly complex contract agreements, comply with evolving state and federal regulations, and navigate the domestic market in the wake of the credit crunch?
Consolidation in the life reinsurance market has lead to greater sophistication amongst the remaining industry players as well as increased interest in the global market. Direct insurers are taking a more aggressive and involved approach to reinsurance contracts, resulting in significant changes to the traditional process. Innovative products are being offered, and with these innovations come new questions about whether and how to reinsure them. New markets are available in the European Union, Latin America, and Asia and, while they present excellent opportunities for growth, insurers and reinsurers looking to expand into these regions need to be prepared for the regulatory, legal, and business hurdles that they will confront.
ACI’s 3rd Annual Legal and Strategic Forum on Life Reinsurance will bring together industry leaders from cedents, reinsurers, and reinsurance brokers, as well as outside counsel and regulators, to provide you with the knowledge and strategies that you need to:
- Design clear and comprehensive reinsurance agreements
- Remain competitive in the shrinking domestic marketplace
- Overcome the barriers to entering new and emerging foreign markets
- Prepare for the implementation of Principles-Based Reserving
- Adjust to evolving regulations at both the state and federal levels
In addition, a special Fundamentals of Life Reinsurance workshop will provide industry newcomers with a thorough understanding of the complex rules and regulations that govern this industry. Don’t miss the opportunity to expand your knowledge through this valuable pre-conference tutorial.
