Join Orchis Li and Benedict Tan Kong Han at the IFoA Asia Conference 2024 on Thursday 25 July as they present on the topic of “Evolution of critical illness insurance: an experience-based journey” (Plenary 5). They will showcase the research from Gen Re's Dread Disease Survey and highlight the various trends in the CI market that have been observed across Mainland China, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia. The audience can learn about the connection between CI definitions and the possible challenges associated with critical illness products. https://lnkd.in/e4qdXiMY #CriticaIllness 

Read our new blog: https://lnkd.in/eSB6yAvd The 8th edition of our Dread Disease Survey (2015-2020) for the Mainland China market was completed earlier this year. Samuel Lim provides an overview of the key findings and their implications for the Critical Illness (#CI) business. Among other findings, we noticed that the entry age for new CI insurance in Mainland China is significantly younger than in Hong Kong or Singapore. Major claims for CI are driven primarily by three conditions: cancer, heart attack (and other heart-related conditions), and stroke. #CriticalIllness #DreadDisease #InsuranceResearch

The analysis of the reported data paints a stable market picture overall, although outliers in some segments influence the apparent trend. Michael Turner, Account Executive, explains the ups and downs. #GroupTermLife #TermLifeInsurance

We are delighted to have hosted our 2024 summer interns at Gen Re London and our subsidiary Faraday. They joined us through the UK-based 10,000 Black Interns Programme as part of our global DEI activities. Muinat Carew and Temi Egberongbe have spent time in Faraday. Muinat within the Wordings Team and Temi in the Property Underwriting Team. We really welcomed their energy and enthusiasm, and we wish them all the very best of luck for their future studies and careers. Munira Abdi is still working within the Life/Health Client Accounting Team and enjoying learning about the world of reinsurance. We’d like to thank Muinat, Temi and Munira for their valuable contributions during their time with us. To learn more about the programme you can visit: https://lnkd.in/eDtES_9J

Read our new blog: https://lnkd.in/euGJfwNf The 2003 heatwave in Europe caused an estimated 70,000 deaths. There is growing evidence that extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, have an impact on morbidity and mortality around the world. Sarah Hogekamp presents recent data on heatwave-related mortality in Europe and the U.S., as well as data on influenza-related deaths. She also highlights the actuarial relevance of these findings. The findings indicate that adjustments to our behaviour and environment could mitigate excess heat-related mortality in the future. #mortality #lifeinsurance #climatechange

What a great turnout! This year’s Global Clients’ Reinsurance Course in Cologne is once again proving very popular. It’s another one of our training programmes for those who want to learn more about non-life reinsurance. During the 5-day programme, we focus on treaty reinsurance and its special features with presentations, case studies, and group discussions. In addition, the participants also learn about facultative reinsurance, modelling of natural catastrophe risks, risk management, and claims. Another highlight is Gen Re’s unique PRIME simulation exercise, which simulates operations from a primary insurer’s perspective. There are also social highlights, including a guided walking tour of Cologne and dinners at special places. #GCRCCologne

Just in time to enjoy the European Football Championship together, the participants in the course “Certified Underwriting Specialist” met again in Cologne. What better combination than medical underwriting insights during the day and a multinational group cheering on different countries in the evening? Thanks to all Gen Re colleagues who supported the seminar. #medicalunderwriting
