The General Assembly Review 2011
The Geneva Association, July 2011
This review is a retrospective on some of the key discussions
at The Geneva Association’s 38th annual General Assembly in
Rio de Janeiro. Comprising essays by CEOs, Chief Regulators
and leading commentators it is intended to provide an insight
into the General Assembly, the most prestigious gathering of
insurance CEOs worldwide, and some of the strategic issues
discussed by the insurance leadership. Subjects include,
financial stability in insurance, climate risks, developments in
liability and law, demographics as well as opportunities open
to the industry.
The Geneva Association is the leading international insurance
think tank for strategically important insurance and risk
management issues. Its members are the CEOs of the world’s
90 leading insurers and reinsurers.
Considerations for Identifying Systemically Important Financial Institutions
in Insurance
The Geneva Association, Geneva, April 2011
The Geneva Association’s efforts in the field of financial
sability in insurance continue with this report which addresses
two fundamental areas that are currently occupying policymakers’
and regulators’ agenda: in Part I “A Methodology to
Identify Systemically Important Financial Institutions (SIFIs)
in Insurance”, and in Part II “An Analysis of the AIG Collapse:
understanding systemic risk and its relation to insurance”.
The methodology presented in Part I is a logical further
development of the earlier work carried out by The Geneva
Association. It is inspired by the need to develop a comprehensive
approach to identifying potentially systemically risky activities
and the entities that carry them out.
Part II provides an analysis of the AIG case, which regularly
features prominently in discussions about systemic risk and
insurance and which is often misunderstood. The analysis aims
to provide more clarity on this oft cited example and sets it in
the wider context of systemic risk issues and their relationship
to insurance.

The Climate Change and Insurance Project International Contacts and Links document is a compendium
of organisations looking at climate change and related issues from an economic perspective. It is not
meant to be an exhaustive list but a useful tool to help inform a wider target group on ongoing worldwide
research activities as well as insurance sector contributions to the subject.
