OneLife, a specialist in cross-border life assurance solutions and digital, hosted its first life assurance seminar in Finland on 13 September. The seminar brought together more than 50 professionals and decision-makers from different asset management companies, private banks, leading law firms and family offices at the Hotel Kämp in central Helsinki.
The purpose of the seminar was to introduce and raise the awareness of OneLife as a leading Luxembourg-based provider and to outline our value proposition for Finnish partners and their clients.
OneLife’s predecessor companies have been providing top-class life insurance solutions for over 25 years from Luxembourg, but is still relatively unknown in Finland. At OneLife we feel that we have our place as a quality cross-border provider who does things differently. In addition to flexible, modern solutions, it is important to have the right people to service our partners and make administration as simple as possible. In Luxembourg, OneLife is recognised as a digital pioneer and we are already able to provide our partners with a tool-kit that adds real value for them and their clients. Watch this space in future months for more developments in the digital space!
There were both internal and external speakers at the event. Wim Dieryck, OneLife Chief Commercial Officer said a few words about the company and gave a demonstration of the OneLife OneApp to the audience. Tarja Valkeinen, Regional Sales Director Finland presented OneLife’s strong Finnish team, our products and services. Toni Kemi, Partner at Premium Group presented the added value of using an Insurance Agent and their range of services for both private clients and their advisers.
However, the focus of the seminar was on key developments and trends in the financial markets in Finland. The insight provided by our guest speakers from Aalto University School of Business was greatly valued by the audience. Assistant Professor Tomi Viitala, who is a member of the Finance Ministry’s taxation working group, talked about the possible taxation changes related to investment products including life insurance and investment funds. Professor Vesa Puttonen, on the other hand, insisted on the future need and role of Investment Advisers and came to the conclusion that as the market becomes more complex, the value of comprehensive investment advice is growing, not diminishing. According to him, Investment Advisers will be even more needed in the future than used to be the case.
Due to the success of the seminar, expect to see and hear more about OneLife in Finland!
