The Egypt Financial Regulatory Authority organised an interactive workshop with the Egyptian Investment Management Association to show representatives of private insurance funds how to invest part of their assets in open-ended investment funds that invest in listed equities. The workshop was positioned as supporting implementation of Financial Regulatory Authority Board Decision No. 269 of 2024, which requires private insurance funds to invest at least 5% and no more than 20% of total fund assets in units of open-ended listed equity funds. More than 15 presentations by asset managers and investment managers covered institutional investment practices, asset and risk management, and approaches to maximising returns through investment funds, with practical examples of cooperation between private insurance funds and Financial Regulatory Authority-licensed investment managers to comply with supervisory controls. The authority linked the workshop to a broader series of training and awareness activities following the start of implementation of the Unified Insurance Law, and noted that Egypt had 671 private insurance funds with 4.6 million members at end-2024.
