Closing of the acquisition of GB Life Luxembourg S.A. by Foyer S.A.

Following the press release issued at the end of August 2019, it is now official, the Commissariat aux Assurances (CAA) has approved the acquisition of the insurance company GB Life Luxembourg S.A. (GB Life) by Foyer S.A., the leading privately held financial group in Luxembourg and a 100% shareholder of WEALINS S.A.


This acquisition represents an opportunity for Foyer S.A. to strengthen its position in the life insurance market under the freedom to provide services regime from Luxembourg. WEALINS and GB Life have, in total, more than €12 billion of assets under administration, fully invested in units of account on 11 European markets.

In addition, Foyer S.A. will be able to capitalize on GB Life expertise thanks to an innovative and digital life insurance offer with a complete dematerialization of the subscription process (including digital signature) currently available in Belgium.


Marc Lauer, Chief Executive Officer of Foyer S.A.:

“I am convinced that the acquisition of GB Life Luxembourg will continue to strengthen the Group's international life insurance activities as an asset management instrument."
