Strategic agenda
| Strategic focus |
Organic growth |
Inorganic growth |
Continued cost management |
| Implementation |
• Strengthening of the university segment in the private client business: through focus on recruiting young consultants and acquiring clients • Further broadening of revenue basis: primarily through further expansion of wealth management, non-life insurance and real estate brokerage business • Accelerated implementation of digitalisation strategy: in particular extension of digital information and service offers |
The MLP Group continues to target acquisitions and is open for opportunities in all fields of consulting. |
• Ongoing efficiency management on the cost base, which was further structurally reduced in 2016 • Simultaneous investment in future projects |
Making MLP less dependant to short-term market influences and building on profit level already achieved

Regulation – significant increase in consolidation within the market due to Life Insurance Reform Act (LVRG)
Accelerated drop in the number of intermediaries operating in the market

Trend is ongoing and has accelerated – MLP to play an active role in consolidation process
Effects of the Life Insurance Reform Act / Evaluation 2018 – Decision 2019
- Quality of consultancy and portfolio is even more important
- Sale organisations with a high cancellation rate lose trail commissions / Major challenges for pyramid sales organisations
• Evaluation of the LVRG in 2018:
- Commission-cap still in discussion. Politics actually develop implementation proposals
- MLP considers restriction on a general basis as not expedient
- In case of a restriction high quality consulting still has to be rewarded – as already proposed by the BaFin

Ongoing strengthening of the university segment
Successful development
5 regional managers with sales experience appointed* 87 university team leaders acquired* Applications to work as MLP consultants more than doubled in 2018 compared to the previous year Outlook for 2019: Further dynamism anticipated in hiring of new consultants * H1/2019
Investments of around € 8 million in the university segment in 2019 Investments starting to pay off
