Service Provider of the Year
PERILS AG
We are humbled to win the award not only in 2023 but for the 2nd time. We regard the AIIA awards as the most prestigious industry award in APAC and to be recognised by the industry is highly appreciated.
We are already promoting the award through various means including via social platforms such as LinkedIn, website, communication to our industry partners and verbally through engagement with the industry.
In 2021 when we first won the award, we already realised this is a long journey as much to do in APAC. Two years later we have continued that path including launching Japan. We will continue to engage expanding our market coverage and perils in the region given the growing impact of Nat Cat disasters. There are a number of developing markets in the region where understanding of hazard risks such as flood is still evolving and part of this is the need to improve the availability of industry loss data. For more developed markets such as Japan and ANZ, facilitation of capacity though alternative capital transactions such as ILS is increasingly critical, also supporting Singapore and Hong Kong efforts to grow their global presence as ILS platforms.
