Financial services provider, Zurich International Life, has announced in Bahrain the launch of its newly enhanced, flexible and tax efficient regular savings product, Vista, in response to growing demand from expatriates and internationally-minded GCC Nationals, residing in their own home countries.
Vista replaces Zurich International Life’s existing regular savings policies, whilst retaining their best features such as flexible payment terms, a comprehensive fund choice and the option of a managed investment strategy for those who want a more cautious approach to investing. New Vista has been designed to provide a more flexible savings plan, including a selection of additional benefits including life cover, critical illness and waiver of premium.
‘You may want to ensure that your children or grandchildren are well educated, arrange a wedding, take a career break, travel the world, or retire in style,’ says Mahmoud Nodjoumi, Managing Director of Zurich International Life Limited - Middle East'.
“Whatever it is you want to save for, new Vista offers a real answer to the problems of finding a simple, flexible savings package, which puts you in charge, enabling you to plan the level and type of protection that you feel is appropriate to your particular circumstances.
’The built-in flexibility makes the new Vista especially suitable for expatriates as Vista is transferable from employer to employer and from country to country,” adds Mahmoud Nodjoumi.
New Vista provides:
• A simple way to save for various needs such as general savings, retirement, children’s education and weddings, all within one simple, flexible package
• Access to a range of world-wide award-winning funds with investment options to match individual savings goals
