SOUTH HAMPTON, Bermuda, June 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Insurance-linked
securities offer investors both a high potential for growth and a
non-correlation with the stock market. Some have even dubbed it "the ideal
asset class" and "the holy grail of investments". Despite coming off its
biggest growth year in the brief 10 year history of the market, analysts and
economists are still projecting significant growth in the industry.
    Now that the market has established itself as a high yield, low beta risk
hedge, investors are flooding to the market increasing the viability for new
products and raising the demand for education. Join Finance IQ on
July 16th - 18th at the Fairmont Southampton in Bermuda as we examine in
detail the latest deals and product structures, investment and hedging
strategies, and tools for investing in life insurance securitizations,
catastrophe and other P&C securitizations, as well as the growing life
settlement sector.
    With the support of capital market financing, the reinsurance industry is
set to become one of the most lucrative markets in the coming years. If you
have yet to invest in the ILS industry, or are looking to diversify your ILS
portfolio, this event will ensure that you make the right investment decisions
by presenting a well-balanced perspective on the inherent risks and
opportunities in the space.
    Some of the key industry players that will be at the 4th Insurance Linked
Securities Summit include: Coventry, Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP, JPMorgan
Chase & Co., Bermuda Stock Exchange, Abacus Settlements, LLC, Life Equity,
Credit Suisse, ICAP, Vyapar Capital Market Partners, LLC, and Life Insurance
