Without old technology or legacy systems holding us back, we can respond to the evolving marketplace
               with agility and speed.

               With our unrestricted Category 1 international cross border insurance licence, and digital distribution
               technology, we can create a full spectrum of Life-Wealth and insurance products for any market in the
               world.

               While  Ascot  Life  is  currently  focused  on  international  cross  border  life  assurance  and  wealth
               management solutions, our future plans see borderless banking, wellness, health and travel insurance,
               along with wealth creating products specifically for Millennials - who will dominate the market space
               over the next 30 years.

               The unique combination of combining a cross border international life assurance company, along with
               Ascot Group’s regulated and approved ROBOPLANNER named FELIX, implemented within a digitally
               automated administration system is a game changer.

               A formula to finally open up life & wealth solutions to global markets via the internet - which is after
               all, the ultimate cross border platform.

               The internet has opened up the world for products and services to be distributed from all corners of
               the  globe;  this  is  yet  to  happen  within  the  life-wealth  space.  The  primary  reason  the  life-wealth
               industry has yet to fully embrace global online distribution is largely regulatory with the three main
               barriers being:

                   1.  For the majority of onshore domestic life assurance companies, the client must reside in the
                      same country as the issuing life assurance company, this is therefore not conducive for on
                      boarding clients over the internet where the clients are not resident in the same country

                      ❖  The Isle of Man is an international cross border financial centre - structured and geared up
                          to accept clients from outside of the Island where there is only a population of 85,000

                   2.  Regulated and appropriate advice must be given for client product suitability before a policy
                      can be issued by a life assurance company

                      ❖  FELIX conducts an internationally regulated online financial planning exercise, where the
                          prospective client will answer a series of personal and financial questions, in the form of a
                          chat  bot,  in  a selected  language  of  choice  – this  exercise could  be  either  executed  in
                          written format, verbal or both

                   3.  In most cases the advisor must also be regulated in the same jurisdiction as the issuing life
                      assurance company

                      ❖  FELIX will provide product suitability in-line with international standards - thus providing
                          the necessary regulated advice for Ascot Life to accept the client and issue the selected
                          policy no matter where they are located in the world
