RISKS
  • With Branch 23, neither the capital or the return is guaranteed. Your return is determined by the way the funds in your policy perform. So it depends on market fluctuations.
     
  • If you can or wish to invest in investment funds for a short period, there is a financial risk attached. That risk is borne in full by the policyholder.
    There is no entitlement to profit-sharing.Important: The insurance company offers neither a capital guarantee nor a guarantee on the return of the Branch 23 part.  As a result, the policyholder may receive back less than the initial investment. The financial risk linked to the Branch 23 policy is borne in full by the policyholder.

 

  • Solvency risk: life insurance policies constitute, for each individual manager, a special asset that is managed separately within the assets of the insurer. Should the insurer go bankrupt, this special asset is reserved as a priority for meeting commitments to policyholders and/or beneficiaries.
     
  • Market risk: this is the risk of loss that may be caused by the price fluctuations of financial instruments in a portfolio.
     
  • Liquidity risk: this is the risk of loss that occurs when unfavourable market conditions affect the ability to sell (illiquid) assets when necessary.
     
  • Rate risk: risk of loss as the result of changes to interest rates on the valuation of financial instruments in a portfolio.
     
  • Credit risk: the risk that a borrower does not pay back the loan (in full). This can have the effect of generating a loss on the value of the portfolio.
     
  • Exchange rate risk: the risk that can occur as the result of the effect that fluctuations in exchange rates have on the valuation of financial instruments in a portfolio.
     
  • Political risk: if the value of an investment falls on account of the instability of political changes in the country(ies) where the investment has been made.
     
  • Operational risk: the risk of direct or indirect loss as the result of inadequate or failing processes related to determining the net asset value of a portfolio.

Discuss your investor profile with your broker. This is essential for investing sensibly.

    Some more information about Funds

    Want to know more? -> Read our section on Funds on this website.

    Each Branch 23 investment fund, depending on its nature and the type of assets in which it invests, belongs to a specific risk class on a scale from 1 to 7 (where class 7 represents the highest risk). This class of risk reflects the volatility of the fund, i.e. the potential ups and downs of its net asset value. The risk class of a fund may change over time.
     
    Below is a list of the most important Branch 23 risks. For a more detailed overview, please refer to the respective information sheets per fund available on the websites of the underlying funds.

    - Counterparty risk: The underlying fund may incur a loss in the event that the counterparty is unable to meet its contractual obligations.
    - Settlement risk: Certain securities may become difficult to sell in the short term or must be sold at a loss at a certain point in time.
    - Management risk: During abnormal market movements, the usual management techniques of an investment fund may prove inefficient or unfavourable.
    - Risk due to deviating instruments: Certain deviating instruments may increase the volatility of the underlying fund or expose its composition to losses greater than the price of these deviating instruments.
    - Operational risks: In all markets, particularly new markets, underlying funds may lose some or all of their capital as a result of asset mismanagement, fraud, corruption, political movements or other undesirable events.
