LUXEMBOURG--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Benelux Life Run-Off SCS announced today the completion of its acquisition of ABN AMRO Life Capital Belgium N.V. (“AALCB”), the Belgian life insurance subsidiary of ABN AMRO, after having received the relevant regulatory approvals.

Benelux Life Run-Off SCS was established by Acathia Capital as the first run-off platform for life insurance companies and life insurance portfolios based in Belgium, with AALCB being its first acquisition.
