Contract overview

Lombard International Assurance is a Luxembourg insurer specialising in unit-linked life insurance solutions intended for private wealth management and wealthy international investors. Present in more than 20 countries, the company is recognised for its cross-border expertise, its mastery of regulatory issues and its ability to support complex wealth situations over the long term.

The Liberty Lux contract is governed by Luxembourg insurance law and benefits from Luxembourg’s own protection framework, including asset segregation, supervision by the Commissariat aux Assurances (CAA) and the super privilege granted to policyholders. Structured exclusively in unit-linked funds, with no guaranteed euro fund, the contract prioritises allocation flexibility, international diversification and access to advanced asset classes.

Accessible from €250,000, Liberty Lux offers an open investment architecture providing access to external funds, collective internal funds, as well as Dedicated Internal Funds (FID) and Specialised Insurance Funds (FAS). This structure makes it possible to integrate tailor-made strategies, including unlisted assets such as private equity, real estate or infrastructure, depending on the defined risk profile and wealth objectives. Management may be either self-directed or delegated to selected managers.

The contract may be denominated in the main international currencies (EUR, USD, CHF, GBP, JPY, etc.), with increased flexibility within the framework of an FID or FAS. The applicable taxation depends exclusively on the policyholder’s country of tax residence, in accordance with the principle of Luxembourg tax neutrality, making it a suitable solution for internationally mobile clients.

Liberty Lux does not fall within the scope of the Sapin 2 law, as this applies to insurers established in France. As a Luxembourg life insurance contract invested in unit-linked funds and subject to Luxembourg law, the contract is based on a distinct framework founded on the security triangle and the legal protection of policyholders, without constituting a guarantee of performance or immediate liquidity in all circumstances.

This contract is mainly intended for wealth clients with significant assets, such as business owners, self-employed professionals, international families or expatriates, seeking a high-end Luxembourg life insurance solution to structure, diversify and transfer their wealth within a stable and recognised legal environment.

The assets are segregated, deposited with an independent custodian bank and protected by the Luxembourg super privilege, which grants policyholders first-ranking creditor status over the assets representing the contract.
