The Singapore Captive Insurance Association (SCIA) announces the launch of the Asia Pacific Captive Forum (APCF) 2026, a new regional platform designed to address the evolving captive insurance landscape in the Asia Pacific.
The inaugural event is scheduled for 2 July 2026 at the New Bahru School Hall in Singapore. It aims to serve as a high-quality, decision-maker forum that brings together captive owners, risk leaders, regulators, and service providers from across the region and beyond.
The forum is structured to host a diverse range of stakeholders, including multinationals, large regional groups, and growth-stage firms. It will also convene captive managers, brokers, reinsurers, consultants, and fronting partners active in the Asia Pacific region. In addition to industry practitioners, the event will engage professional advisors across legal, tax, audit, actuarial, and governance disciplines, as well as regulators and policymakers from captive domiciles around the world.
Kelvin Wu, president of the Singapore Captive Insurance Association, says: “As captives take on a more strategic role in how organisations manage and finance risk, there is a growing need for a dedicated regional platform that reflects the realities of Asia Pacific.”
Wu adds: “Through APCF, SCIA aims to connect captive owners, risk managers, regulators and service providers across geographies, facilitate the sharing of practical insights and market developments, and strengthen collaboration between established and emerging captive jurisdictions, with a strong focus on actionable learnings.”
The SCIA, which envisions a vibrant captive insurance community that champions best practices and fosters collaboration, sees the forum as a key component of its mission. The association remains committed to promoting a clearer understanding of the business rationale for captives, focusing on strengthening governance, decision-making, and long-term value creation for organisations. Through thought leadership and active engagement with industry stakeholders, the SCIA intends for the Asia Pacific Captive Forum to build a strong and impactful voice for the broader captive ecosystem.
