Triangle of security
The triangle of security is a legal protection mechanism put in place by Luxembourg's regulator to protect assets representing the insurance company's commitments. It takes the form of a tripartite agreement between an insurance company, a custodian bank and the Commissariat aux Assurances (CAA). The insurance company must deposit assets representing its commitments in an account separate from its own assets and with a CAA-approved custodian bank. The CAA then carries out regular checks on the insurance company's provisions.
Super Privilege
This privilege is granted to a policyholder in the event their insurer defaults. Super privilege entitles the policyholder to recover assets before any creditor - in particular the state, social security bodies, shareholders and employees.
Tax Neutrality
There is no tax friction from holding a Luxembourg policy. The policyholder will be taxed according to their tax residence.
The charges applicable to the contract are detailed in Section 3 of the life insurance contract.
