Our offer for legal entities 

Endowment contracts benefit from the same tax treatment as life insurance during the life of the policyholder, in the event of redemption. The only tax difference lies in the settlement of the contract in the event of death. Unlike life insurance, endowment contracts are not unwound in the event of death. They are passed on to heirs, and are included in the estate. They therefore retain all benefits, including the prior tax benefit of the endowment contract. In addition, the policyholder may gift the endowment contract to a third party during his or her lifetime. The subscription period is chosen freely, but cannot be longer than 30 years.
