The Insurance Institute of Hong Kong (IIHK) has now merged with the region’s Chartered Insurance Institute (CII), offering an “enhanced membership” proposition to members of both organisations.
The alliance combines the global reputation of the CII – which has around 2,000 members in Hong Kong – with the local relevance and market relationships of IIHK.
The CII plans to boost its engagement with the Hong Kong insurance and financial services market by establishing a new advisory council designed to help financial services professionals comply with local regulatory requirements.
Existing CII members will now gain access to professional development events in the region. Access to professional qualifications for brokers, insurers and reinsurers will also be improved.
The two bodies are currently in the process of approving the merger, which is expected to be completed in August.
