Implemented growth initiatives systematically continued

Focus Measures implemented in the first nine months
1. Online strategy
Expansion of the internet presence in order to serve as a significant
channel for attracting interested parties and new clients

Start of the new internet presence "MLP financify" in April 2015 to address
the needs of young adults

Re-launch of the mlp.de website in July 2015 –
creates basis for online
contract conclusion for simple products by the end of the year
2. Recruiting
New further training bonus introduced for new client consultants

Combination of high quality initial and further training with an easier start
into self-employment

Opening of a new branch in the university segment, further more in planning
Make MLP
more independent of
short-term market
influences
3. Broadening of the
revenue base

Development of a further, strategically relevant business segment in the
area of non-life insurance through the ongoing acquisition of the
DOMCURA Group –
at the same time, considerable revenue synergies with
the classical MLP business

Continued expansion of wealth management

Ongoing expansion of real estate brokerage

Integration of the underwriting agency DOMCURA is progressing according to plan

  • Range of jointly-issued, high performance package-type products for consulting at MLP is currently under development
  • Improvement of technical and process handling in non-life business at MLP is underway

  • Further expansion of non-life business contributes to the broadening of the revenue mix and increases recurring revenue
