Asset Protection Under a TCPPB
Segregated Portfolio of each policy is formalized in a Board meeting, mentioning the custody bank.
The underlying assets in a Segregated Portfolio cannot under any circumstances be used to satisfy liabilities of other clients or of the insurance company.
In case of liquidation of the insurance company, each Segregated Portfolio is protected from creditors and the assets are returned to the policyholder.
The custody bank is specifically selected by the client and may be located in a country other than the jurisdiction of the insurance company.
The Insurance contract cannot be seized or in any other way impounded by any third party.
No Creditor has access to the assets since they are the legal ownership of the Insurance Company. This implies that the assets cannot be seized.
TriCap cooperates almost exclusively with a limited number of selected Luxembourg based Custodian Banks. The proximity and the international orientation of the Luxembourg banks have proven to be major arguments to maintain that strategy.
