CAT BONDS

FINANCIAL CENTRE FRANKFURT - "Funds Europe: German roundtable - In association with the BVI Deutscher Fondsverband (Frankfurt, 9 July, 2024)": "Asset management in 2024 is a booming industry - but still one that faces numerous challenges. Apart from geo-political uncertainty, asset management is more intra-linked with public policy than ever before. Not only are firms still attempting to solve the 'pensions timebomb', but they are now helping to achieve the green transformation and aiding EU policymakers’ in their dream of unifying capital markets to boost economies. Asset managers in Germany – who manage over €4trn of vital investment assets - are among the most important financial institutions in Europe. This roundtable assembles leaders from the industry to establish where there might be alignment between policymakers and how business and policy can move agendas forward."
