Inheritance cover protects against stock market crashes
You can add the Inheritance Cover feature for your Nordea Vision endowment insurance to protect your invested capital in the event of death.
With Inheritance Cover, the indemnification to your beneficiary will at least equal the premiums paid into the insurance, from which possible surrenders have been deducted, regardless of the performance of your invested savings. You only have to pay for the cover if the amount of your savings is less than the amount of capital you have invested in the agreement. If your savings’ performance is positive, the Inheritance Cover feature is free of charge.
With Inheritance Cover, you can invest in one of the following investment baskets: Yield Basket, Allocation Fixed Income, Allocation Moderate or Allocation Moderate Global.
Inheritance Cover can only be added to a new Nordea Vision agreement.
Nordea Vision is suitable for you if you are looking to:
- invest with a long-term approach,
- diversify your savings across several different investment alternatives under the same agreement,
- switch investments actively, and
- transfer your wealth to your heirs flexibly using a beneficiary clause.

Information about taxation
- The investments which determine the performance of an endowment insurance can be switched without any taxation on capital gains.
- You don’t need to report any changes to your investments under the insurance to the tax authorities.
- In the event of death, the indemnity paid to the next of kin is taxed in connection with inheritance taxation. A death benefit payable to other persons than close relatives is considered taxable capital income in full.
- Once the insurance expires completely, any losses will be deductible, taking into account possible partial surrenders made during the insurance period. If the compensations paid from the insurance after the deduction of profit are less than the assets invested in the insurance, the arising loss is deductible from capital income in the year in which the insurance expires, provided that the insurance does not expire with death or become due for payment to another beneficiary than yourself. Payments made on the basis of death cover are also included in the compensations.
