The Hong Kong Insurance Authority has today published guidelines related to its new insurance-linked securities (ILS) regulatory framework in the Government Gazette, with details on applications to establish special purpose insurers (SPI) in the domicile now finalised.
Hong Kong’s “Guideline on Application for Authorization to Carry On Special Purpose Business (GL 33)” is a comprehensive document that takes the completed legislation and turns it into something more usable, by making it relevant to those looking to apply to establish ILS structures in the Special Administrative Region (SAR).
Hong Kong’s readiness for ILS is now complete and with its pilot ILS grant scheme also available, alongside this guide for issuers and managers that helps in applying to operate ILS structures there, it may only be a matter of time until the first deal emerges.
