      <subfield code="a">Life investment products, or Insurance-Based Investment Products (IBIPs), differ fundamentally from MiFID-governed products because they combine investment with protection features such as biometric risk cover, financial guarantees, and risk-mitigation techniques. While they may appear complex, this sophistication benefits consumers by offering stability, long-term planning, and safeguards against market volatility, unlike simpler products like ETFs that lack protection. IBIPs provide flexibility through multi-option structures, tailored insurance covers, and regulated transparency under EU rules, ensuring clear cost disclosures and risk indicators. They serve as holistic solutions for diverse consumer profiles, balancing risk and return while simplifying financial management, ultimately empowering consumers to achieve security and growth without needing deep technical knowledge</subfield>
