SHARE CAPITAL INCREASE GETS A FMA APPROVAL

Nucleus Holding II, a Luxembourg partnership, announces today that it has reached a ground-breaking approval from the FMA (Financial Market Authority of Liechtenstein) to increase the share capital of Nucleus Life AG.
This took place at an Extraordinary General Meeting on 7th of September in Vaduz.

It will allow to consolidate its two majority participations into Nucleus Life AG (Liechtenstein) et TriCap Assurance SPC (Cayman Islands).

Nucleus Holding II organise the share capital increase of Nucleus Life AG and TriCap Assurance SPC to cover the solvency requirements of both life carriers and to further develop the two operations.

Photonike Capital SA (Euronext Access Symbol: MLPHO) has taken a participation in Nucleus Holding II after entering into an exclusive Joint Venture agreement with Nucleus Holding II for the development of the Italian life insurance market.

Nucleus Life AG (www.nucleus.li) is based in Liechtenstein and is authorized to conduct life insurance business in several European countries. Nucleus Life AG has been in operation since 2006 in the B2B Life Insurance market, exclusively offering “contrats dédiés” (wrappers) to Unit Linked Group products and High Net Worth Individuals.

As the European life insurance market is reaching an unprecedented turning point, Photonike Capital SA and Nucleus Holding II are willing to exploit such new business opportunities in conjunction with an existing distribution network.

The Agreement also provides that the distribution will be enforced with the implementation of web marketing technology through another participation (25%) of Nucleus Holding II into a web marketing platform accounting seven million contacts.

The plan of Nucleus Holding II is to seek a listing either on the Luxembourg Stock Market and/or on the Euronext.

ERFF Working Paper December 2020

Issues & Solutions for Retirement Savings & Investments
Working together to create long-term financial security for European households

The European Retail Financial Forum (ERFF) is a consumer-focused, pan-European industry platform. Launched in the European Parliament in 2015, ERFF was set up in response to the European Commission’s stated ambition to expand the dialogue on opening up retail financial markets in Europe and to engage with ‘all stakeholders around one table’. We particularly welcome collaboration with consumer groups. Our main activities are business/consumer dialogues, technical workshops with EU policymakers and our annual ‘Consumers at the heart of finance in Europe’ conference. www.erff.eu


Introduction
The purpose of this paper is to help the ERFF explore issues in 2021 that go to the heart of the ageing population challenge and the role that retirement income savings can play in the financing the Covid recovery and Green Deal policies. This work complements the work of the ERFF in examining solutions to the more immediate issues facing retail consumers from Covid economic impacts.

     1. Increase household retirement savings and raise citizens’ awareness and level of financial literacy

The ability of second pillar pension schemes to deliver expected retirement incomes is increasingly at risk in the face of an ageing population and very low returns due to numerous aspects such as risk aversion, regulation and low interest rates.

In many countries, governments now seem determined to act and promote the increase of retirement income savings...
