Agenda

Stream One – Insurance Agenda

09:30 – 10:00 AM	Registration — Insurance Session
10:00 – 10:05 AM	Welcome & Opening Remarks
10:05 – 10:15 AM	Keynote: Macro and Geopolitics: The Risk Map for APAC Insurers	A straight view on the current macro and geopolitical backdrop, how it is hitting markets, and the short to medium-term outlook.
10:15 – 10:45 AM	Panel Discussion: Insurance Portfolios Under Pressure: Strengthening Asset Performance and Emerging Risks	This session unpacks the five structural forces reshaping asset risk, asset liability management, portfolio performance, and regulations in the Asian Insurance sector. We will examine the evolving complexity across public and private exposures — from multi-asset strategies, hidden illiquidity, and valuation risk to broader financial and non-financial threats.
10:45 – 11:15 AM	Panel Discussion: The Future of Insurance Investing — Rethinking the Operating Model	Portfolios are more complex, but legacy infrastructure has not kept pace. We explore the implications on operational, risk and regulatory challenges created by multi-asset, multi-manager portfolios and what it takes to maintain investment oversight, performance visibility and data governance across an increasingly fragmented landscape.
11:15 – 11:25 AM	Keynote: Insurance Investments Outlook – the year ahead

Stream Two – Hedge Funds Agenda

4:00 – 4:30 PM	Registration – Hedge Fund Session
4:30 – 4:40 PM	Welcome Remarks
4:40 – 5:45 PM	Panel Discussion: Are You AI-Ready? Institutional-Grade Agentic AI for Investment Managers	The race to deploy agentic AI is on — but institutional readiness remains the defining gap. This panel brings together senior leaders to interrogate what a credible agentic AI strategy actually looks like in practice: how to structure data infrastructure and internal teams to deploy at enterprise scale; where AI is delivering real outcomes today across research, trading, risk and portfolio management; and what it takes to move from proof-of-concept to live workflow — including the advantages cloud-native infrastructure brings to scalability and real-time data access. The conversation will also tackle the harder questions — data residency, model governance, OMS integration and regulatory expectations — and what the road ahead looks like for APAC fund managers serious about building institutional-grade agentic AI in the next 12 to 24 months.
5:45 – 7:30 PM	Networking Reception
