Introducing Merkur GreenLife

Merkur is launching a new product that offers a cost-efficient alternative to traditional pension insurance and puts the focus on sustainability. Merkur GreenLife not only offers the opportunity to participate in the stock market but also to act responsibly. The Federal Ministry for Climate Protection, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation, and Technology (BMK) has awarded this commitment with the Austrian Ecolabel.

“For security in old age, it is generally advisable to take out a private pension. Merkur responds to the low-interest rate environment with a unit-linked life insurance policy, which, in addition to the security aspect, takes up a central issue that is very important to Merkur: sustainability. With Merkur GreenLife we ​​invest in companies that make a positive contribution to the environment and society. Companies that achieve above-average: in the areas of resource conservation, recycling, climate protection.” – CEO of Merkur Versicherung, Ingo Hofmann.

Sustainable investment is first and foremost an investment like many others. However, Mercury observes certain principles. Merkur GreenLife only invests in funds that have been awarded the Austrian Ecolabel. Merkur GreenLife’s investment strategy is developed and continuously optimized by the capital experts at Metis Invest GmbH, a subsidiary of Merkur Versicherung. The unit-linked life insurance is based on a plan tailored to conscious private investors: The life cycle model enables high returns at the beginning of the investment cycle and preserves what has been achieved with particularly solid forms of investment towards the end of the investment period.
