Fundamental changes in the market

Client behaviour

  • Fundamental scepticism on the part of clients towards the financial industry since the outbreak of the financial crisis
  • Quick and inexpensive information possibilities for clients via the internet
  • Distinct desire to make their own financial decisions

Demographics

  • Rising life expectancy and low birth rate lead to a significantly ageing society
  • Increasing pressure on state social welfare systems
  • Number of people in work constantly falling

Regulation

  • Since 2004 and especially since 2008 intensive regulation
  • In addition to impacting at the product level, regulation also particularly applies to the training of consultants, documentation and transparency

Trend Effects

  • Intense competition
  • Quality of consulting services and differentiation from the competition continue to gain in significance
  • Contract conclusion for simple products sometimes takes place without consultation
  • Great need for private and occupational old-age provision as well as private health insurance
  • Recruiting: Good labour market perspectives leads to a "war of talents" for well-educated/trained individuals
  • Significant rise in administrative activities burdens productivity
  • Increase in fixed costs for training, IT systems and administration
  • Quality becoming an increasingly important aspect

Regulation strongly increased since 2004

Significant increase in consolidation within the market due to LVRG

  • Quality of consultancy and portfolio will become even more important
  • Sale organisations with a high cancellation rate will lose trail commissions
  • Major challenges for pyramid sales organisations
