The HNW Insurance Summit - Singapore 2026 is a high-level gathering for senior professionals across the private wealth, insurance, and advisory ecosystem. As Singapore continues to strengthen its position as one of Asia’s most important private wealth and cross-border planning hubs, this event will bring together leading practitioners for a substantive, technically grounded examination of the role insurance now plays in wealth preservation, succession planning, liquidity management, and long-term structuring for high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients.
The summit will convene a carefully curated audience of senior decision-makers - heads of wealth planning and insurance specialists at private banks, family office principals and executives, independent wealth managers, insurers, brokers, lawyers, tax advisers, and specialist structuring consultancies. This year, the emphasis is firmly on substance and practical application: real case studies, candid discussion of how solutions actually get structured and underwritten, and perspectives from the practitioners who sit in front of clients every day - not just from those who design and distribute the products.
How the Day Works - You Choose How You Take Part
The summit is held at the Conrad Singapore Marina Bay and is structured in two distinct parts, and you are warmly invited to join the morning, the afternoon, or both - whichever best suits your schedule and interests.
The Morning (9.00am - 1.00pm): panel discussions, presentations, and the Hubbis Hot Seat segment, followed by a networking lunch
The Afternoon (2.00pm - 4.00pm): three focused, small-group workshops, designed for detailed, interactive discussion
You get three and a half hours CPD for the morning session and two hours for the afternoon.
Key discussion themes include:
The strategic role of HNW life insurance and PPLI within broader wealth planning, succession, and structuring frameworks
Market-by-market perspectives on tax and regulatory change across Asia and beyond - including China, Southeast Asia, India, Australia, Korea, and Japan - and what clients in each market are actually asking for
Compliance, substance, and scrutiny - how tax authorities are viewing PPLI and related structures, and what separates robust, durable planning from aggressive structuring
The product landscape in practice - UL, IUL, VUL, Whole of Life, and PPLI - including policy design, premium financing, and how large, complex cases are structured and underwritten
Holding new asset classes within policies - the growing demand to structure crypto, tokenized assets, private equity, and other alternatives within compliant insurance frameworks
The value of advice in an AI-driven world - how technology is changing client expectations and what it means for the future of bespoke planning
The format has been designed to be engaging and interactive throughout. The morning combines expert panels, high-impact presentations, and the fast-paced Hot Seat showcase with live audience polling and Q&A, and concludes with lunch. The three afternoon workshops are deliberately small-group and discussion-led, allowing for genuinely granular, educational exchange. Whether you join us for the morning, the afternoon, or the full day, you will leave with practical, actionable perspectives from industry leaders, product specialists, and advisers working at the forefront of the HNW insurance market in Asia - and with the opportunity to build relationships with a senior peer group addressing the most relevant and commercially important issues in the sector today.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Conrad Singapore Marina Bay in August 2026.
