The partnership also plans to offer regular investment plans and term life insurance to clients in the UAE and the GCC.

“We are truly pleased about this collaboration with BNP Paribas, which brings together two world-class organisations with complementary resources and a shared commitment to excellence,” said Carlos Sabugueiro, CEO, Middle East & Africa, Global Life Emerging Markets of Zurich Financial Services Group.

“Our comprehensive product proposition and associated services tribute the investment-minded clients of BNP Paribas and we are confident that this will reap excellent returns.”

“This partnership will provide them with an opportunity to benefit from the investment expertise of the bank that was, until now, reserved for high net worth clients. This includes access to direct equities, bonds, capital protected products, Forex and commodities to name a few.” – TradeArabia News Service
