Overview

Welcome to the Joint Regional Seminar 2022.

The Joint Regional Seminar (JRS) is an annual Life and Health Insurance event co-organized by the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries and Actuaries Institute Australia with the support of the local actuarial societies in the region. It is designed to assist actuaries and other professionals to gain insights across the APAC markets and support their continuous professional development (CPD)requirements.

 

Insurance is one of the largest global industries, holding a significant portion of global economic assets and liabilities on their balance sheets. As a corporation, risk manager, insurer and investor, the insurance industry can play a role to develop a climate-resilient community and accelerate the transition to a net-zero emissions economy. Hence, this year’s theme is “Sustainability – The Ecosystem for the Insurance Industry”.

 

Regional seminar

The regional seminar will be delivered online to actuaries in participating jurisdictions, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Taipei, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, and Bangkok.  Four topics have been selected for the regional seminar hosted virtually on 20 September 2022.

 

Hong Kong seminar
The Hong Kong seminar will be held physically at Tai Kwun 大館hosted by the Actuarial Society of Hong Kong on 21 September 2022 and sponsored by Reinsurance Group of America (RGA).
