By GlobalDataThis amount is lower than the €215m communicated in July 2018 due to the results of the in-force portfolio which accrued to Santander till closing. It is also due to the previously agreed contingent payment of up to €75m in 2024 which is dependent on the partnership’s performance.
The deal is said to have a negative impact of 3 percentage points on the Group Solvency II ratio.
Last year, Canada Life Reinsurance partnered with Aegon in a long-term longevity reinsurance agreement to cover €12bn in-force liabilities.
