Invest with Assurance Vie
Designed for those who are looking to invest in a tax-efficient way, in the medium to long term, Assurance Vie offers many advantages.
We can guide you in choosing the best options based on your projects and planned investment period, your investor profile and your desired level of risk/reward.
Choose funds to balance Risk and Reward
There are 2 types of funds:
- EURO FUND: This is a secure fund which includes a capital guarantee (excluding costs linked to the contract and the cost of any guarantees present in the contract). Each year, interest is paid onto the contract on December 31st.
- INVESTMENT FUNDS: These are ready-made funds, invested in different asset classes such as shares, bonds or real estate. These supports can offer a higher return potential than the euro fund, but in return present a risk of capital loss.
Some funds are aimed specifically towards social and environmental issues.
Protect the people you love
A major advantage of Assurance Vie is that you designate who will receive the capital at the time of your death. You can choose as many beneficiaries as you wish and can change your beneficiaries at any time in order to adapt to your situation (divorce, remarriage, birth…).
As transmission takes place outside your estate your beneficiaries are exempt from inheritance tax within the limits set by the regulations (articles 757 B and 990 I of the General Tax Code).
