Ziler

Luxembourg's insurance regulation permits a broad range of underlying investments in internal funds. These investments may manifest as unquoted/unlisted assets, depending on the overall investment strategy of the life insurance policy. Private equity vehicles have seen a signicant boom as an underlying assets class for life insurance policies, notably as a means to decorrelate performance from other assets classes and boost yields.

As investors in these specific and typically more complex assets, insurers encounter increased risks and challenges. These risks are not limited to valuation concerns but extend to legal, compliance, governance, and other policy management matters. These aspects need to be assessed and monitored continuously, especially for cross-border policies.

The imperative for comprehensive and streamlined processes and controls is heightened, and implementing a clear action plan to address these challenges should be considered a priority.

In close collaboration with PwC's subject matter experts, PwC's Academy has designed a training made of 4 complementary building blocks to offer an effective, flexible and cost-efficient approach for insurance professionals to build-up and maintain their knowledge and competence in regards to the non-standard assets held in insurance:

Insurance non-standard assets - Business case (2h)
Unlisted securities held in life insurance: focus on private equity valuation (2h)

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

  • obtain a comprehensive knowledge on valuation concepts specific to private equity assets held in life insurance;
  • understand recognised valuation methodologies (including valuation allocation techniques).
