Free webinar: Japanese asset intensive reinsurance

03 October 2025

InsuranceERM is hosting a free webinar on Thursday 9 October that will discuss Japan’s blossoming market in asset-intensive reinsurance.

Spurred by the introduction of new solvency rules, Japanese life insurers have been looking to manage their risk in the form of asset intensive reinsurance. That has in turn led to foreign reinsurers setting up offices in Japan and Asia with a view to growing their ties with local insurers.

There have been a number of deals announced already – in this past week alone Dai-ichi Frontier Life and Sony Life Insurance have publicised their transactions – and more are in the pipeline. 

The webinar features Grace Chang of Milliman, Tetsuzo Morimoto of T&D United Capital North America and Lukas Gallus of Resolution Life Asia, who will discuss:

  • Japan's new capital regime as a driver for asset intensive reinsurance.
  • What kinds of liabilities are Japanese insurers transferring?
  • Asset intensive reinsurance market dynamics
  • The risk/reward of asset intensive reinsurance
  • The argument for illiquid assets as a match for long-dated liabilities

The 1-hour webinar will take place Thursday 9 October at 15.00 GMT / 10:00 ET.
