Thanks to the partnerships with leading insurance institutes, Ersel offers:

• Class I Policies: under Italian law, revaluable, with guaranteed capital.
• Multi-class Policies: dynamic solutions that allow you to invest your capital in a Class I component, with capital guarantee, and in a Class III component through a selection of the best UCITS, ETFS and Insurance Funds. Multi-tier solutions allow you to adapt your investment allocation to capture your return opportunities or to change your risk appetite. They also offer a partial capital guarantee and insurance cover in the event of the death of the insured person.
• Class III Policies: products under freedom to provide services under foreign law which offer the possibility of combining diversification of investments with tax advantages. This is an extremely flexible structure that allows effective financial planning as well as fiscal and inheritance planning. These products allow a high level of customization, which also extends to the choice of underlying investment strategies. They are reserved for investors with a medium-long term horizon and specific investment and succession planning needs. They also offer insurance cover in the event of the death of the insured person.

 

The Multi-class Policy

Ersel, in partnership with MEDVIDA Partners, offers two new and exclusive financial-insurance products to its private customers: CiiS Gold and CiiS Platinum.

Capital investment insurance Solution (CiiS) is a flexible and versatile multi-class policy that covers customers over time, offering them a different method of insurance by combining the security of traditional insurance products (Class I) with the return opportunities of Unit-Linked products (Class III). CiiS makes it possible to structure a personalised and flexible offer which is perfectly suited to the customer’s requirements over time, also thanks to a series of options that can be triggered in response to the evolution of the customer’s needs.

 

Investment solutions

CiiS allows customers to invest, based on their objectives and risk profile which varies over time, in a mix of the following solutions (1):

• Class I Investment Option
  The solution that guarantees full security for the customer’s investments. A prudent style that targets the retention of capital through a separate management of Italian law: MV PARTNERS GUARANTEE.
• Class III Investment Option Internal Insurance Funds
  The solution tailored to customers who wish to entrust dedicated professionals with the task of managing the portfolios established. The portfolio management service is assigned to Ersel.
• External Funds (UCI- Undertakings for Collective Investment)
  The solution allows customers to independently put together their own portfolio by choosing from the UCI Funds provided by the product, taking an advantage of an additional element of diversification.

 

The benefits

Insurance benefits

Note

(1) Capital investment insurance Solution does not offer any guarantee of reimbursement of the premium paid or minimum return on the financial investment, excluding Class I options for which the company guarantees the sums invested. The investment mainly presents financial risks attributable to possible fluctuations in the value of units of mutual investment funds or the shares of SICAVs subject to investment. The fluctuations depend, for example, on the trend in the markets and the nature of the underlying financial instruments. The investor may, both during the contract or at the time of disinvestment, receive a lower amount of capital than that originally invested; this possibility is even more likely the higher the level of risk of the pre-selected allocation.

(2) The beneficiary of the death benefit can be freely nominated, also outside of the estate, ensuring the right of privacy of the designated beneficiaries (based on art. 1920 of the Italian Civil Code).

(3) In the event of death of the policyholder, income taxes do not apply on the part relating to coverage of demographic risk (as set out in art. 34, last paragraph, of Italian Presidential Decree no. 601/73). In addition, the benefit is excluded from inheritance tax (based on art. 12, paragraph 1 letter c) of Legislative Decree no. 346/1990). The tax treatment may be subject to changes in the future.
