Overview 2013

  • 2013 was a difficult year for the first time MLP experienced simultaneous, market-related decreases in two core business fields
  • New all-time highs in wealth management and in loans and mortgages as well as growth in non-life insurance
  • Despite the even greater market burdens, MLP generates substantial profits – strategic further development pays off
  • Further slight decrease in administration costs through strict efficiency management – despite additional investments
  • Executive Board proposes a dividend of 16 cents per share pay-out ratio: 68 percent

Total revenue: € 501.1 million in 2013

Diverse regulatory activities – MLP is well prepared

Basel III /
Capital Requirements
Directive IV

EU directive and regulations in force since July 2013. New regulations concerning appropriate
capitalisation apply from January 2014.

Continuous
strengthening of MLP's capital base
in order to ensure maintenance of the
currently comfortable equity capital situation.
Act on Promoting and
Regulating fee-based
Advice on Financial
Instruments
("Honoraranlageberatungsgesetzt")

The German government has decided to introduce an occupational profile for fee-based
consultants
in wealth management
(introduction in July 2014) and is currently drawing up
legislation prior to the implementation of the EU directive MiFiD II.

MLP clients are fully credited with kickbacks that MLP receives from investment companies for the
brokerage of investment assets (flat fee) –
MLP thus already
fulfils the main requirement
for
registration as a fee-based advisor. Further details (such as the handling of existing business) will
be clarified in the pending directive.
MiFiD II
Decided upon at EU level in trialogue. The directive requires that "independent advisory services"
in
the
wealth management area
a) have access to
a sufficient number of products available in the
market AND b) do not take in any
commissions from
Third Parties.
à
Expected transposition into national law:
2017 –
already largely covered by the Act
on Promoting and Regulating fee-based Advice on Financial Instruments in Germany.
IMD II
IMD II constitutes a revision of an EU level directive for the
insurance area
which pursues analogous
aims to MiFiD II.

No agreement has yet been reached with respect to the actual composition of this directive. No final
decisions are expected to be taken until after the European elections.
à
Expected transposition into national law:
2017 at the earliest.

leads to similar hesitancy as witnessed in 2013

Administration costs 2014: ~ € 255 million

    1. Difficult financial year 2013 shows the importance of the initiated further development of the company and of the cost management programme implemented during the past few years.
    1. MLP will vigorously push ahead with the transformation. All growth initiatives are aimed at making MLP more independent of short-term developments.
    1. Outlook for 2014 is cautiously optimistic, despite the continuance of major challenges.
