PRESS RELEASE | LEONTEQ LAUNCHES DIGITAL OFFERING FOR INSURANCE COMPANIES AND ANNOUNCES ITS FIRST AGREEMENT WITH CNP LUXEMBOURG

Zurich, 30 January 2024

Leonteq today announced the expansion of its digital offering to insurance companies for the lifecycle management of investment products. CNP Luxembourg is the first insurance company to use LynQs for the performance monitoring of its structured products.

Following the successful launch of LynQs for financial advisors, asset managers and private banks, Leonteq is expanding its digital offering to insurance companies. As an in-house developed technology, LynQs helps insurance companies to digitalise and automate the lifecycle management of their outstanding structured products.

By using LynQs, insurance companies can monitor their structured products portfolio across all issuers and keep track of related events. The LynQs dashboard provides a broad overview of product information, including pricing, distance from the barrier and coupon payments. The platform’s best-in-class user interface can be fully customised in a white-labelled format. In a second phase, Leonteq intends to launch additional features that will support the digitalisation of the unit-linked product segment.

Alessandro Ricci, Head Investment Solutions at Leonteq, stated: “LynQs aims to simplify the daily life of its users. With our new offering for life-insurance companies, monitoring structured products invested in by unit-linked life insurance policies becomes much more efficient.”

First Collaboration with CNP Luxembourg

In this context, Leonteq has signed an agreement with CNP Luxembourg (CNPL) to provide them access to LynQs’ Portfolio module and to update and efficiently monitor its outstanding structured products.

LynQs offers CNPL powerful lifecycle management capabilities for all structured products, such as those invested in by its specialised insurance funds (FAS) and dedicated or collective internal funds (FID/FIC).

Sebastien Noujaim, Branch Manager and Head of Sales Paris at Leonteq, stated: “We are pleased to collaborate with one of the leading life insurers in Luxembourg. Following the launch of our white-labelling partnership with Banque International à Luxembourg, this new collaboration with CNP Luxembourg will further strengthen our footprint in the FraBeLux region.”

CNP Luxembourg, life insurance company created in 2015, is a 100% subsidiary of CNP Assurances, a leading player in the French insurance industry. CNP Luxembourg markets a range of high-end life insurance and capitalization contracts for individuals and legal entities residing in Luxembourg, France, Belgium or Italy.
