Discussion points

Asian insurers' appetite for private market investments? Have insurers' priorities in terms of illiquid assets changed as a result of COVID-19?

Are CIOs in Asia sourcing private market investments locally or abroad?

Is the illiquidity risk worth the premium, in CIOs' eyes?

Some insurers say they cannot find enough long-dated assets locally, to match liabilities. What are the alternatives? Or is an A/L mismatch destined to be a way of life for Asian insurers?

Has the Belt & Road initiative offered any opportunities for insurers or is that a privileged area for banks?
