Article L441-1 of the French Insurance Code

Insurance undertakings are authorised to participate directly or indirectly, in particular by collecting premiums or contributions, by constituting capital payable in the event of death, or by constituting and paying pensions or life annuities, in any transaction the object of which is the acquisition or enjoyment of rights in the event of death, in which a link is established between the revaluation of premiums and that of previously acquired rights in the event of death, and whose assets and rights are isolated from those of other insured persons and subject to the conditions set out in this chapter.

These operations constitute commitments the performance of which depends on the duration of human life within the meaning of article L. 310-1.

Les entreprises d’assurance sont autorisées à participer directement ou indirectement, notamment par la collecte de primes ou cotisations, par la constitution de capitaux payables en cas de vie, par la constitution et le service de retraites ou avantages viagers, à toute opération ayant pour objet l’acquisition ou la jouissance de droits en cas de vie dans laquelle un lien est établi entre la revalorisation des primes et celle des droits en cas de vie précédemment acquis et dont les actifs et les droits sont isolés de ceux des autres assurés et soumis aux conditions prévues au présent chapitre.

Ces opérations constituent des engagements dont l’exécution dépend de la durée de la vie humaine au sens de l’article L. 310-1.
