Pooling modes that evolve with your needs

The Lifecycle Pooling solution brings together two modes in a single, flexible approach:
Multiemployer pooling for smaller companies, and Standalone pooling for larger, more complex programs.

As your business grows or changes, your pooling mode can adapt—without signing a new agreement each time.

Multiemployer pooling mode

This mode brings together the experience of several companies to create a more stable, predictable pool. It’s ideal for smaller groups that may be more affected by claim volatility or don’t yet meet the thresholds for a Standalone pool.

  • Full stop‑loss protection with no deficits carried forward
  • A fresh start each year
  • Flexibility to grow at your own pace
  • A secure environment that protects smaller pools from difficult claim years
  • Dividends earned country‑by‑country when there’s a positive balance

Standalone pooling mode

This mode is designed for multinationals with more countries in scope and a need for greater flexibility and tailored risk management.

  • The dividend is based on the client’s own results
  • After carrying forward any previous losses, 100% of the positive balance can be paid out
  • One protection layer:  stop‑loss
  • Volatility charge assesses the stability and diversity of the pool and includes a possible discount linked to the ESG score of the client
  • Optional three‑year stop‑loss protection, depending on programme scale
  • Bi‑annual reporting for added visibility

Switching between the two modes

At the end of the first contract year, a client moves into Standalone mode if the portfolio meets the required thresholds.
If a Standalone pool no longer meets those thresholds, it automatically moves to Multiemployer mode.


The process is seamless—no renegotiations and no new agreement needed.
