MedVida is a life savings and annuity insurance firm that manages policies for more than 148,000 customers.

The deal forms part of MedVida’s long-term growth strategy, which will see it work with CNP Partners’ existing team.

MedVida aims to reinforce ties with distribution partners, including financial institutions, brokers, and intermediaries, and develop its digital channel.

For CNP Assurances, the divesture will simplify its European business and allow it to focus on developing core business in Spain and Italy.

The deal, which was announced earlier this year, is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2022 and is subject to regulatory approval.
