Eyal Ben Simon CEO
The past year has been challenging for all of us, both personally and professionally. To meet the challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic, we worked diligently to ensure the health of our teams, provide continuous service to our clients and partners, and proactively manage our activities and investments in a dynamic environment. The Phoenix proved to be resilient during 2020, generating NIS 1.35 billion in comprehensive profit and 18.5% ROE.
During 2020, we completed development and began implementation of a value creation strategy for the group. This strategic plan focuses on (1) accelerating growth in high-ROE businesses, (2) driving innovation and efficiency, (3) actively managing the group portfolio, and (4) optimizing the deployment of group capital. The initial implementation of the plan included refocusing growth priorities across the group, organic and inorganic; building organizational capabilities and infrastructure; optimizing our branding position; initiating new efforts across the portfolio; and driving superior risk-adjusted returns, including through the reduction of sensitivity to market forces.
The financial results of the group are due, in part, to the initial impact of this strategy and capability building. Key businesses grew during 2020 despite the economic contraction, and profitability increased due to core business margins as well as proactive investment management. The shareholder equity of the Phoenix grew to NIS 8 billion, improving the company's Solvency ratio. During the fourth quarter, the Phoenix adopted a dividend distribution policy as a commitment to generating and distributing capital, including following this challenging year.
Going forward, I am excited by the opportunities we see and energized by the challenges we face. We continue to navigate carefully in this dynamic environment while redoubling efforts as we work towards significant improvements across our businesses.
