Apex (Portugal) is a new proposition for expatriates combining a life assurance policy with a range of investment options designed to suit their needs.

Speaking at the launch, Paul Thompson, Chief Executive Officer of Utmost Group said ‘I am delighted to officially launch our new Apex (Portugal) product. During the product development stage, we listened to our advisers and clients and their feedback was very important in terms of shaping our overall proposition. Apex (Portugal) includes many attractive features such as new charging structures, online access through a secure site as well as a wide range of investment options. This is the first of a number of planned product launches in Europe and represents a key milestone for our Group.’
