The document is an explanation of new life insurance regulations in Luxembourg.
Les règles d’investissements pour les produits d’assurance vie liés à des fonds d’investissement avaient été fixées par la Lettre Circulaire modifiée 01/8 du Commissariat aux Assurances pour les contrats émis avant le 1er janvier 2008 et, pour les contrats émis avant le 1er janvier 2002, par celles de la Lettre Circulaire 95/3 du Commissariat aux Assurances relative aux règles prudentielles en assurance vie.
Raisons de ces modifications successives et de cette profonde refonte des dispositions :
de ****supports financiers**** sont développés régulièrement et atteignent leur phase de maturité après une période de relative incertitude quant à l’appréciation de leur exposition au risque
I don't think this means "financial support" in this context - more like "financial instrument/products". Any thoughts?
All advice gratefully received.
Many thanks,
George

Selected
financial products/investment vehicles
'Products' includes 'instruments', so no need for both. The typical 'support' for insurance company investment is what we would call a fund or subfund, and a company described as 'multi-support' will use a diversified selection of funds.
In this context, though, some of the things the French term would cover are rather more elaborate than mere 'products'. For example, if you wouldn't describe the entire set of tranches of a collateralised debt obligation as a 'product' in itself, you might do better with the less specific 'investment vehicle'.

my suggestion based on what you said, the question text, especially:
les produits d’assurance vie liés à des fonds d’investissement
atteignent leur phase de maturité
and are exposed to risk.
Maybe it's some sort of financial product, but related to investments.

"Dans un premier temps, [name] va regarder si le Fonds Externe que le partenaire veut promouvoir dans l’offre ****Multisupport**** appartient à l’univers déjà référencé"
as well as:
"Fonds Externes : investissement minimum de EUR [value], le montant minimum d’investissement par ligne à l’intérieur de ce ****support**** étant de EUR [value]"
I wonder if this is actually a synonym for "fund"?
