Securing the future of the General Insurance Market amidst widening expectation and protection gaps
The future of the General Insurance Market is under scrutiny as the gap between expectations and protection widens. Amidst difficult times, consumers are increasingly seeking comprehensive insurance policies, while insurers grapple with a multitude of complex and evolving risks and challenges.
In this session, we will seek to answer: How can insurers bridge the protection gap? How are the regulators approaching the expectation gap and what do they expect from insurers? What impact might these issues have on the industry? What are consumer expectations? How can insurers effectively communicate cover to consumers?
Speakers include:
- Colm Holmes, CEO, Allianz UK - Chair
- Tara Foley, CEO UK and Ireland, AXA
- Martin Coppack, Director, Fair By Design
- Sam White, CEO, Stella Insurance
Mansion House reforms for pensions: where are we now?
The Chancellor announced a package of pensions measures at his Mansion House speech in July, which was accompanied by a number of policy proposals by DWP. The Autumn Statement in November is expected to continue this focus.
In this speech the Chancellor also announced his three golden rules:
- To secure the best possible outcome for pension savers;
- to always prioritise a strong and diversified gilt market
- to strengthen the UK’s position as a leading financial centre to create wealth and fund public services.
This plenary session will:
- Explore the opportunities and barriers to pension funds investing in the UK.
- Analyse the progress of each of the strands of reform announced in the Chancellor’s Mansion House speech in July
- Debate whether the Chancellor’s golden rules be met.
Speakers include:
- Yvonne Braun, Director of Policy, Long Term Savings, Health and Protection, ABI
- Liz Fernando, Chief Investment Officer, NEST
- Chirantan Barua, CEO, Scottish Widows
Investing in healthy lives
Healthy life expectancy has increased over time, but not as much as life expectancy. This means that people are spending more years in poor health. People’s healthy life expectancy is driven by a range of socio-economic factors from deprivation to gender and ethnicity, alongside behavioural factors such as smoking, diet and exercise.
These factors are complex and interact with each other leading to differences in health outcomes for different people. These differences in health outcomes are known as health inequalities – unfair and avoidable differences in health between different groups within society. Typically, health inequalities adversely affect groups of people who have systematically experienced greater obstacles to health.
Reducing poor health and tackling health inequality is beneficial for society, the economy and insurers. So why has it been impossible for successive governments to act upon sound evidence that prevention, which tackles the root cause of ill health, is more cost effective than dealing with the cure? How can insurers best demonstrate their value in keeping people fit and well by incentivising healthy behaviours?
