The 2017 North Atlantic hurricane season was one of the most active on record. We saw multiple hurricanes coming close together causing significant damage and human loss. The talk discusses whether 2017 was an exceptional year or indicative of what we expect to see in the near future, and the implications for (re)insurers.

This session will examine our biases, look at what it feels like to be an outsider and give attendees practical tools and actions we can all take to support and grow diversity and inclusion, within the profession. This session is also designed to meet the objectives of the IFoA’s Stage 3 Professional Skills Training for experienced members.

Join us as Neil Bull from the Pensions Regulator presents on “The Annual Funding Statement 2019”.  His presentation will include a discussion on the key messages of the AFS 2019 including the Long Term Funding Target, maturity, what tPR expects of Trustees / Employers and the new regulatory approach.
