Net Zero Investor’s Insurance Investment Summit

Investing in net zero assets across public and private markets comes with its own special set of considerations for the insurance community. Join investment professionals from life, general and reinsurers to discuss the opportunities across sustainable bonds, equities as well as the private markets opportunities that exist in investing in everything from natural capital to renewable infrastructure.

A different kind of industry conversation

Our summits are designed as expanded roundtable discussions — immersive, interactive events where every voice matters.

Throughout the day, we intersperse short, focused presentations with open-floor dialogue. Each talk is intended to spark discussion rather than deliver a one-way lecture. Following each presentation, participants are invited to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and share their own perspectives. This creates a collaborative space for genuine knowledge exchange.

Participation

Our format works best when everyone is engaged.
We encourage — and expect — participants to contribute to the conversation. While we make exceptions for those wishing to observe quietly, the ethos of a summit is active involvement.

Reporting & Publication

The purpose of each summit is to surface valuable perspectives, insights, and challenges — which we then capture in a post-event report.

On the record: All conversations are on the record unless explicitly stated otherwise.
Accuracy first: We record discussions to ensure accuracy and avoid misquoting.

This approach ensures we preserve the richness of the conversation while maintaining transparency and trust.

Net Zero insurance investment- adapting to disruption

With mounting political resistance and anti-environmental incentives in the U.S. , insurers face a rapidly shifting landscape for climate action. Are investors reacting to immediate disruptions, or focusing on the long-term realities and risks of climate change?

Explore how insurers are reassessing strategies ahead of critical interim targets and climate deadlines in 2030 and 2050. Examine whether current approaches are resilient enough to withstand political and economic pressure.

How are Insurers moving from commitments to measurable action? What is the value and role of alliances such as the Net Zero Asset Owner Alliance (NZAO) in the current day? And how do insurers approach and react to their own net zero commitments?

3:30

Calculating risk- integrating climate into insurance portfolios

As climate change accelerates, physical and transition risks are becoming central to insurance investment strategy. How then are insurers understanding and embedding these risks across portfolios to protect long-term performance while meeting net zero objectives?

Explore how insurers are responding to the Prudential Regulation Authority’s Climate Scenario framework, using scenario analysis and stress-testing to assess vulnerabilities and guide capital allocation.

Meanwhile, how are adaptation and mitigation objectives are being integrated into investment strategies, from resilient infrastructure and low-carbon technologies to climate-aligned bonds and equities.

4:00

Decarbonising the portfolio

As net zero deadlines approach, what’s the best path to net zero. Should portfolios reduce carbon exposure across all asset classes gradually, or should investors commit aggressively to climate solutions that drive real world impact?

Examine opportunities in private markets, from renewable energy infrastructure to emerging climate technologies, and consider how insurers can gain exposure while managing risk and return. Debate financing structures suitable for both long and short term insurance investors, assessing how capital can support the energy transition while remaining aligned with fiduciary responsibility.
