How it works

Clients can benefit from a permanent life insurance policy for either personal or entrepreneurial financing. The maximum amount that can be borrowed is based on a specific percentage of the cash surrender value, depending on the investment options chosen by the policyholder. Generally, the more conservative the investments, the higher the borrowing limit3.
