Following the success of its inaugural ILS Insight event in
Zurich in 2014, Guernsey Finance is returning to the Swiss city to
host its annual ILS masterclass.
The 'ILS Insight' event moved to London last year but
will return to the Park Hyatt Zurich for the 2016 instalment.
Taking place on Thursday 7 July, the event sees experts from across
the Insurance Linked Securities (ILS) asset class come together to
discuss the industry's hot topics.
Guernsey has become a leading destination for ILS; figures
showed that Guernsey licensed 66 new international insurers during
2015, with nearly 40% of the licenced structures relating to
ILS.
Guernsey Finance Chief Executive Dominic Wheatley said:
"Guernsey remains a specialist centre for ILS and we are
delighted to be holding ILS Insight for the third successive year
and for the second time in Zurich. ILS is a perfect fit for
Guernsey's financial services sector as it allows us to combine
our long track record and expertise
