Asia Pacific Financial Services Association

Asia Pacific Financial Services Association A community of financial planner associations in Asia Pacific. The congress retains its name as the APLIC Congress. Today, 9 countries are represented.

The Asia Pacific Life Insurance Council (APLIC Council) was formed in September 1991, when the inaugural meeting was held in Singapore, attended by the Presidents of the National Life Underwriter Associations from Australia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. In conjunction, the 1st Asia Pacific Life Insurance Congress (APLIC) was held hosting more than 5,000 de

legates from the region. With a common goal, the members of the APLIC Council extended their invitations to include other National Associations from Japan, India, Macau and Taiwan. Following the success of the 1st APLIC Congress, the APLIC Congress was held bi-annually and has since became an event greatly anticipated by financial advisors in the region. Keeping abreast of the many changes in the insurance industry, many of the National Life Underwriter Associations in the region have shifted their focus to the financial service with name changes. In line with this change, the APLIC Council changed its name to the Asia Pacific Financial Services Association (APFinSA) on July 2003, locating its Secretariat in Singapore. More than 8,000 delegates attend the bi-annual congress, making it the largest financial services congress in the region. With one voice, APFinSA serves as the leading speaking platform for industry issues in the region. In addition, APFinSA aims to assist the formation of national associations in the other regional countries and/or territories.

The world doesn’t change overnight.

It changes when people stop asking where the opportunities used to be…
and start looking at where they’re being created.

Today, that place is increasingly Asia.

Home to more than half of humanity.

Home to one of the world’s fastest-growing middle classes.

Home to rapid advances in technology, digital ecosystems, and insurance innovation.

And despite this growth, millions remain underinsured, creating one of the greatest opportunities for our profession to make a meaningful difference.

Asia isn’t just participating in the future.

It’s helping define it.

This is more than Asia’s moment.

This is our responsibility, and our opportunity.

The world is coming to Asia.

Over the past decade, more people around the world have shifted their attention toward Asia, rather than focusing primarily on Western countries.

Not because Asia became louder, but because it became impossible to ignore.

For years, Asia Pacific was described as an emerging region.

Today, that description no longer fits.

Economic growth, digital transformation and financial innovation are increasingly being shaped within Asia itself.

As the insurance profession evolves, the region has an opportunity, not simply to participate in global conversations, but to lead them.

The future of our profession will be written by those who recognise this shift early.
