Prosperity or catastrophe: #Insurance2040 study reveals four possible futures for the industry

SAS-sponsored research by Economist Impact suggests global politics and innovation will influence the insurance sector’s fate
CARY, N.C., Nov. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — By 2040, technological innovation driven by customer centricity could pave the way to greater climate resilience and more personalized offerings by the insurance industry. Alternatively, insurance could become a luxury afforded only to the wealthiest few. These are potential paths for the insurance industry, according to a new future of insurance study by Economist Impact and data and AI leader SAS.
Informed by in-depth desk research and expert interviews, four prospective futures for the sector emerge in Revealing the paths to 2040: four possible scenarios for insurance. The report is the first in a two-part study examining the key factors that will shape the future state of the industry and the role technology could play in helping insurers navigate change.
“Our scenarios are not intended to predict the future,” said Edwin Saliba, Senior Analyst at Economist Impact. “Instead, they explore possible futures for the insurance industry, helping insurers better position themselves to respond effectively to emerging challenges and seize new opportunities.”
Per the report, the level of global cooperation and the pace of technological change will help determine how effectively and equitably the insurance sector, governments and societies at large address policy challenges like the climate crisis. Each path forward includes expert recommendations for industry leaders to build resilience and foster agility.
“There is a non-zero chance the insurance industry will collapse by 2040 – and that should prompt all insurers to take stock of growing risks and their overall resilience,” said Franklin Manchester, Principal Global Insurance Advisor at SAS. “Insurers can’t price customers out of coverage in flood zones to remain profitable in the climate crisis, certainly not in perpetuity, and perhaps not for much longer.
“As the digital revolution plays out in parallel, insurers can and should invest in responsible innovation for a more climate-resilient and prosperous future – or they risk failing the fundamental value proposition of insurance, which is to protect people.”
Scenario 1: Isolationism and unregulated technological growth lead to missed climate targets.
Isolationist global politics leads to accelerating technological evolution, unrestrained by regulatory guardrails or broader global coordination. The international community falls short of climate targets due to poor global cooperation. Only countries with the most developed economies can invest in and deploy green technologies (e.g., renewable energy, electric vehicles), while developing economies and regions suffer.
Private, hyper-regionalized insurance creates large disparities in product offerings and pricing, and the vast insurance protection gap widens as insurers withdraw from high-risk markets.
Scenario 2: Customer centricity drives prevention-focused approaches and climate transformation.
If regulatory efforts and global cooperation succeed in protecting digital identities and data privacy, new open lines of communication between countries and regions inspire collective advancement in emerging technologies. Insurers shift from an indemnification to a preventative approach across health, home and auto policies.
The democratization of technology enables insurers to offer highly personalized products to new and existing customers, tailored to their specific risk profiles and preferences.
Scenario 3: The effects of climate change spur climate resilience – for some.
Major economies introduce corporate sustainability reporting and overhaul their national disaster response and recovery policies, with insurers playing a starring role in compliance by employing risk modeling approaches. Lower- and middle-income economies focus on saving lives and livelihoods, while in further-developed economies, banks adopt climate risk-adjusted mortgages, and insurers introduce lower home insurance premiums by encouraging homeowners to retrofit their properties.
Where insurers stop providing coverage, safety regulations and climate-shock-resistant building codes are introduced to prohibit the development of infrastructure in high-risk zones. Insurers leverage historic data and enhance accuracy and data availability, bringing real-time environmental monitoring and advanced predictive analytics to the fore.
Scenario 4: Insufficient innovation and no cooperation? Insurers buckle.
Refusal of governments and businesses to collaborate on technology development and regulation exacerbates global conflict and undermines efforts to mitigate climate change. The full potential of AI fails to materialize, and the insurance industry falls behind in adapting to a world beset by increasingly catastrophic natural disasters. The protection gap reaches historic levels, disproportionately affecting emerging markets, where many are left without coverage and facing significant public resources constraints.
As the insurance industry eventually falters, collective risk pools in local communities gain momentum to cope with regionally specific concerns.
Preparing for 2040
“Even the boldest actuaries, in their most ambitious risk models, could hardly have imagined the skyrocketing frequency and severity of loss events we’ve experienced in recent years,” said Thorsten Hein, Insurance Lead in Risk, Fraud and Compliance Solutions at SAS. “The industry is on an alarming trajectory.
“Insurers are facing increasingly complex unknowns much faster than they’ve ever had to in the past, and it’s pushing their actuarial limits. AI will become an indispensable tool in helping insurers survive and thrive on the path to 2040 – AI guided by human intelligence that knows how to use its capabilities optimally and responsibly for the benefit of the company and the protection of its customers.”
SAS will deliver the second installment of this two-part #Insurance2040 study in early 2025. In the meantime, download the first report at sas.com/insurance2040 – and learn more about how data and AI is helping shape the sector’s future today at sas.com/insurance.

Second Year of Support for Women Entrepreneurs Driving Positive Change
MELBOURNE, Australia, Nov. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — LIFTWOMEN®, the global platform empowering female entrepreneurs, is thrilled to announce the return of its LiftHER Female Founders Grant Challenge, supported once again by AsiaPay Capital. This year, AsiaPay’s continued sponsorship amplifies its commitment to fostering innovation and inclusion, with A$40K in prizes for finalists and winners. Following the success of last year’s inaugural challenge—which received over 300 applications from five APAC regions—the LiftHER initiative remains dedicated to supporting women-led ventures that drive positive social and environmental impact.
The previous LiftHER cohort celebrated diverse founders from Australia, Vietnam, Hong Kong SAR, Indonesia, and the Philippines, showcasing businesses across MedTech, sustainable consumer products, and digital platforms. These finalists have not only made strides in their industries but have collectively engaged audiences of over 500,000 across social media and earned coverage in major media outlets, including Forbes, CNN, and LinkedIn Top Voice.
In 2024, nine finalists will again be selected to participate in an intensive 8-week business and crowdfunding coaching program. Last year’s winners included OVUM (Australia), an AI-driven women’s health assistant, La Foundary (Australia), which transforms waste into biomaterials, and Urban Farmer TV (Philippines), dubbed the “Netflix for urban gardening.”
Irene Tsang, Founder and CEO of LIFTWOMEN®, emphasised the vital role that AsiaPay’s support plays in sustaining the challenge and uplifting these visionary founders. “AsiaPay’s partnership is instrumental in ensuring that female founders have access to resources that are often out of reach,” said Tsang. “Their commitment goes beyond sponsorship; it is a powerful affirmation that women-led ventures are key to creating a sustainable and inclusive future. The LiftHER Grant Challenge is more than just a competition—it’s a platform to break down systemic funding barriers, empowering women to lead impactful change.”
Joseph Chan, CEO of AsiaPay Capital, added, “AsiaPay Capital is honoured to support LIFTWOMEN® again this year, backing a program that aligns with our values of innovation and inclusive growth. The quality of last year’s applicants was inspiring, and we look forward to seeing new ideas that merge technology, sustainability, and gender equality to shape the future of business in Asia.”
Applications for the LiftHER Grant Challenge opened on 11 November 2024 and will close on 3 January 2025. Finalists will be announced in late January and will start their journey with international mentors in February, leading up to the Pitch Night in April 2025, where A$40,000 in grant funding will be awarded across four categories: Sustainable Future, Innovation & Impact, Digital Commerce, and People’s Choice.

Past performance is not indicative of future performance. There is no guarantee of the repayment of the principal. Investors should note:
Global X India Sector Leader Active ETF (the “Fund”)’s investment objective is to achieve long term capital growth by primarily investing in equities and equity-related securities of sector leading companies domiciled in or exercising a large portion of their economic activity in India.The Fund will invest primarily (i.e. at least 70% of its net asset value (the “Net Asset Value”) in equities and equity-related securities (such as common shares, preferred stock as well as American depositary receipts (“ADRs”), global depositary receipts (“GDRs”) and participation notes) of sector leading companies domiciled in or exercising a large portion of their economic activities (e.g., having investments, production activities, trading or other business interests) in India.The Fund employs an actively managed investment strategy. The Fund does not seek to track any index or benchmark, and there is no replication or representative sampling conducted by the Manager. It may fail to meet its objective as a result of the Manager’s selection of investments, and/or the implementation of processes which may cause the Fund to underperform as compared to other index tracking funds with a similar objective.The Fund’s investment in equity securities is subject to general market risks, whose value may fluctuate due to various factors, such as changes in investment sentiment, political and economic conditions and issuer-specific factors.The Fund is an FPI registered with the SEBI. The applicable laws, rules and guidelines on FPI impose limits on the ability of FPI to acquire shares in certain Indian issuers from time to time and are subject to change. This may also adversely affect the performance of the Fund.The FPI status of the Sub-Fund may be revoked by the SEBI under certain circumstances. In the event the Fund’s registration as an FPI is cancelled, revoked, terminated or not renewed, this would adversely impact the ability of the Fund to make further investments, or to hold and dispose of existing investment in Indian securities. The Fund may be required to liquidate all holdings in Indian securities acquired by the Fund as an FPI. Such liquidation may have to be undertaken at a substantial discount and the Fund may suffer significant/substantial losses.The Fund’s investments are concentrated in securities in India. The value of the Fund may be more susceptible to adverse economic, political, policy, foreign exchange, liquidity, tax, legal or regulatory event affecting the Indian market.High market volatility and potential settlement difficulties in the equity market in India may result in significant fluctuations in the prices of the securities traded on such market and thereby may adversely affect the value of the Fund. The BSE has the right to suspend trading in any security traded thereon. The Indian government or the regulators in India may also implement policies that may affect the Indian financial markets. There can be no assurance that the Indian government will not impose restrictions on foreign exchange and the repatriation of capital.The taxation of income and capital gains in India is subject to the fiscal law of India. The tax rate in respect of capital gains derived by an FPI on transfer of securities will vary depending upon various factors. Any increased tax liabilities on the Fund may adversely affect the Net Asset Value of the Fund. For details, please refer to the section headed “Taxation in India” in the Prospectus. Any shortfall between the provision and the actual tax liabilities, which will be debited from the assets of the Fund, will adversely affect its Net Asset Value.Underlying investments of the Fund may be denominated in currencies other than the base currency of the Fund. In addition, the base currency of the Fund is USD but the trading currency of the Fund is in HKD. The Net Asset Value of the Fund and its performance may be affected unfavourably by fluctuations in the exchange rates between these currencies and the base currency and by changes in exchange rate controls.Securities lending transactions may involve the risk that the borrower may fail to return the securities lent out in a timely manner or at all. The Fund may as a result suffer from a loss or delay when recovering the securities lent out. This may restrict the Fund’s ability in meeting delivery or payment obligations from realisation requests.The trading price of the Units on the SEHK is driven by market factors such as the demand and supply of the Units. Therefore, the Units may trade at a substantial premium or discount to the Fund’s Net Asset Value.Investors should note that where a unitholder holds Listed Class of Units traded under the USD counter, the relevant unitholder will only receive distributions in HKD and not USD.Payments of distributions out of capital and/or effectively out of capital amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of an investor’s original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment. Any such distributions involving payment of dividends out of capital or effectively out of capital of the Fund may result in an immediate reduction in the Net Asset Value per Unit of the Fund and will reduce the capital available for future investment.
