Management report
The mission of the investment management company "Indexo" (IPAS "Indexo", hereinafter "the Company" or "INDEXO") remains unchanged - to offer modern, transparent investment products at low cost and to improve competition and transparency in the Latvian financial services industry.
This is our first communication with our significantly increased shareholder base, so this report tries to convey in a more detailed way how we see our business and the main drivers of our long term plan to grow the shareholder value of INDEXO.
2022 so far has been an exciting year for INDEXO shareholders. We have given the company a new strategic direction by raising capital for establishing a new bank in Latvian market and have continued the fast growth in our everyday pension business. Here are the key highlights of the first 6 months of our development:
- 1) We have had the best results in terms of number of customers acquired. Over 6 months INDEXO added 14 359 2nd and 3rd pillar customers representing a 21.3% growth over beginning of the year and a growth 25 448 customers or 45% over 2Q 2021,
- 2) INDEXO churn customers who leave INDEXO for other managers has significantly reduced. Our annualized churn has dropped from 9.4% in 2Q 2021 to 6.5% in 2Q 2022,
- 3) Our revenues have increased by 50% yoy to 1M euros in 1H 2022,
- 4) We have negotiated Ongoing Cost Figure reduction to our customers which means that they will have a bigger share of the market returns accumulating in their pension accounts,
- 5) Switch to 100% equity in our 2nd Pillar pension plan "INDEXO Jauda 16-50″ was finalized in February 2022,
- 6) We prepared the company for an IPO writing the prospectus, doing active communication with the public to attract investors to raise the capital needed to establish the bank,
- 7) Our co-founder Valdis Siksnis assumed a role of CEO during 1Q 2022. Valdis' extensive knowledge of the financial services industry is instrumental for the development of the bank.

INDEXO long term shareholder value growth depends on our ability to grow our pension fund customer base. Each customer will on a monthly basis over time contribute to their pension account that will be invested according to INDEXO investment strategy and will compound with the world equity markets until the person retires. As these pension accounts grow, so does INDEXO revenue. INDEXO is able to attract customers at attractive cost compared to the lifetime customer value.
The first 6 months of 2022 were very successful for INDEXO in attracting 2nd pillar customers. In absolute numbers, we attracted 10 653 new customers, which is the best result in INDEXO history. Given the inflationary environment, we saw a slight uptick in our customer acquisition cost, but that has not changed the attractiveness of our client acquisition model.

2nd Pillar pension waterfall chart Q2 2021 - Q2 2022
Millions EUR, based on management estimates
The world equity markets were volatile in first 6 months of 2022. Our AUM grew 31% from EUR 365M in 2Q 2021 to EUR 478M in 2Q 2022. Our market share of 2nd pillar market AUM increased from 6.6% to 8.8% over the same period. The drop in the indexes means, that our Assets Under Management (AUM) growth over last 12 months has been lower than our client number growth. Short term equity market volatility has no long term consequences on long term customer account growth and thus on our shareholder value growth.
Importantly, together with Latvian average wage and customer number growth, our
monthly new money flow is increasing. As of June 2022 it was 4.8 million euros vs 3.3 million a year ago, a 45% increase. This means that on a run rate basis, INDEXO takes in approximately 60M euros of new customer funds per year from existing clients, and that figure is constantly increasing.
INDEXO's equity investment strategy has proven to generate competition-beating results both in times when markets grow and drop, reconfirming the well proven theory that over long periods active managers perform worse than equity indexes. The performances of different funds can be checked on manapensija.lv. We advise not to focus on short term performance of funds in selecting a pension fund.
Despite INDEXO funds performance, some clients decide to choose a different manager. Over the last 12 months, INDEXO churn has significantly dropped, standing at an annualized 6.5% in 2Q 2022 vs 9.4% in 2Q 2021. We hope that as our brand recognition and track record as an asset manager grows, we will be able to bring this figure further down.
| All-in cost for our 2nd pillar pension clients |
31.07.2022 31.12.2021 | OCF improvement for clients |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| INDEXO auda 16-50 | 0.607% | 0.651% | 4.4 bps |
| INDEXO Izaugsme 47-57 | 0.622% | 0.648% | 2.6 bps |
| INDEXO Konservatīvais 55+ | 0.525% | 0.557% | 3.2 bps |
As an ongoing commitment to improving our fund terms for our customers, we have been working hard to improve our Ongoing Cost Figure, which represents all costs related to INDEXO and third party service providers. As our assets grow, we renegotiate the terms with our main partner Blackrock and our custodian bank Swedbank. In the first 6 months, we managed to renegotiate the terms for our 2nd pillar funds, some of which were implemented past the reporting date in July. All these improvements have not decreased INDEXO commission income.
Bond market volatility due to growing inflation and expectation of interest rates growth has meant that our Conservative fund customers have seen their portfolio values drop almost 13% over the last 12 months. INDEXO strategy in the conservative fund is to invest in high quality credit rating bonds and even if there is negative market performance, we hope that our conservative portfolio will perform well in terms of credit risk i.e. we will not have losses due to companies defaulting in the higher interest rate environment.
3rd pillar pension plans
INDEXO has an attractive voluntary 3rd pillar pension product with personalized automatic rebalancing and low fees. It means that as a person near the pension age, INDEXO automatically starts reducing equity risk according to pre-set glide path. On the other hand INDEXO's tool also allows our client to personally manage the risk level of their portfolio by choosing desired level of equity risk. Over 90% of our customers have chosen the automatic rebalancing strategy that we recommend.
Voluntary third pillar funds represent a very tiny part of our overall business, approximately 1.3% of total AUM managed by INDEXO as of 2Q 2022. INDEXO mission is to provide the best possible service to encourage people to supplement their state pension and 2nd pillar savings by voluntary savings. As the disposable income grows, we aim to convince more and more Latvians that the tax efficient 3rd pillar with automatic monthly payment is the best way to do so.

Our 3rd pillar customer number increased by 3 706 or 147% in the first 6 months, and 5 441 or 694% compared to 2Q 2021. We managed to negotiate improvements to the OCF for our 3rd pillar customers by reducing 3rd party and custody fees by 4.8 bps for equity fund and 2 bps for bond fund.
As 3rd pillar pension management is a relatively new product for us, we are still discovering the best ways how to attract customers. Our aim is to improve the conversion of existing 2nd pillar customers to 3rd pillar customers . Given that in the first 6 months, inflation was very high and for the first time in a decade Latvian population has seen a drop in real income (wage growth has been slower than inflation), we have for the time reduced our investment into 3rd pillar customer acquisition and focused on 200 pillar customers with much more predictable cash flows and higher AUM per client. This does not change our long term view that in medium and long term this will develop into a significant business for INDEXO.
Bank development
During first 6 months of 2022, we invested in our team to prepare our bank business plan and to prepare the company for capital raise and listing on Riga Stock Exchange. Our management board member and Co-Founder Valdis Siksnis became the CEO of the company. Valdis was a head of Nordea Bank Latvia from 2002 until 2013.
Good progress was made in preparing the business plan for the bank. Main assumptions and financial forecasts of the business plan were part of INDEXO IPO prospectus, which is available on INDEXO website.
Financials
For simplicity of understanding our business and the investments into bank development in the financial reporting, we have split in our management reporting costs into 3 major parts - expenses related to our 2nd and 3rd pillar asset management, our pension client acquisition cost that drives our long term growth of new clients and the bank development costs. The latter represents the management cost related to developing the bank, new employees hired for bank business as the bank plan develops and other costs and investments that we will be making during the licensing process until the establishment of the Bank as a separate legal entity when license is expected to be granted subject to ECB approval after recommendation by the Financial and Capital Market Commission (FCMC).

From our shareholder perspective this allows to follow the Operating Income Before Client Acquisition development of the asset management business that we use both for investing into client growth and bank. As INDEXO is growing very fast, the run rate figures (end of the period monthly figures) are higher than the average for the period.
As our AUM grows, so do our revenues. Our 6 month revenue grew 50% to 1M euros from 692 thousand in 1H 2021. The Operating Income before client acquisition2 increased to EUR 630 thousand, an increase of 71% over 1H 2021.
As a record number of customers joined INDEXO, we spent IM euros in the first 6 months of 2022 to attract those customers, 108% per cent increase over 1H 2021. Around 773 thousand of that was recognized as cost in the Statement of Comprehensive income while the rest were capitalized on our Statement of Financial Position (please see Notes 1, 3 and 8 of this report for detailed explanations). These new clients increase our AUM and revenues in the months and years to come.

² Cost allocations are calculated by Management using prudent assumptions
During the first 6 months INDEXO incurred 64 thousand euros worth of IPO costs. This is a part of the total cost of the IPO which we expect to come to around EUR 250 thousand, with the reminder being booked in the 3Q of 2022. As INDEXO used no investment banks or placing agents, the total costs related to IPO are expected to be approximately 3% of the capital raised in July 2022 delivering good value for the shareholders of INDEXO.
During the second half of 2021 INDEXO took a strategic decision to establish a bank and started to build a team that would be taking this process forward. Significantly, one of our Founders, Valdis Siksnis, became our CEO and leva Margeviča joined our team leading marketing and investor relations activities. Along with other additions to the team, INDEXO has spent 217 134 euros in what we classify as bank development costs.
In accordance with INDEXO plans, the pension fund business is expected to become cash flow positive after client acquisition cost within the next 6 months, when it reaches AUM of 650 – 700M. Exact timing will depend on market performance and the number of customers acquired.
Significant post reporting date events
- 1) 5 year track record for "INDEXO Izaugsme 47-57", establishing it as the best performing fund in 50% equity weight funds.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Accounting policies
General information
Investment management joint-stock company "Indexo" (IPAS "Indexo" , hereinafter "the Company") was registered on 10 January 2017. The Company received a licence for management of the state-funded pension scheme plans and licence for investment management services on 16 May 2017. In 2020 the Company established a subsidiary "Indexo Atklātais Pensiju Fonds" AS (hereinafter – "APF"), Financial and capital market commission issued licence on management of private pension funds on 21 January 2021. IPAS un APF comprises Group.
The Group is providing asset management services to the state-funded pension scheme plans, private pension plans as well as provides investment consulting services to clients.
Regulatory framework
The Company's activities are regulated by Investment management companies (hereinafter "IPS") law, Commercial law, and other legislative acts. The Company's activities are supervised by the Financial and Capital Market Commission (hereinafter "FCMC").
APF activities are regulated by Private pensions' law and other legislative acts.
Compliance statement
The Group's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (hereinafter "IFRS") as adopted by European Union and the requirements IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
Basis of preparation
Financial statements are prepared in accordance with the IAS 34 as adopted by European Union, including standards and interpretations approved by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as well as International Accounting standards approved by IASB and Interpretations of Permanent Interpretation Committee.
These are consolidated financial statements of the Group. Consolidated financial statements that include the results of the Company and its subsidiaries are prepared by the 100% parent company - IPAS "Indexo" and these are available on the webpage www.indexo.lv.
The Group's financial statements are prepared under a historical cost convention.
Financial statements are presented in the functional currency of the Group, the official currency of the Republic of Latvia – the euro ("EUR"), unless stated otherwise.
The Group's financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Statement of cash flows has been prepared using the indirect method.
The notes include accounting policies constantly applied by the Group in preparation of its financial statements for 1H 2021 and 1H 2022, as well as the new accounting standards and interpretations.
Estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income, and expenses. Estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances and form the basis for making judgments about carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that cannot be determined based on other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing the financial statements, significant judgments and estimates are used in measuring the Client acquisition costs and their amortisation period. Future events may affect the assumptions on which the estimates are based. Any effect of changes in estimates is reflected in the financial statements at the time they are determined.
Application of IFRS 16 to lease contracts
Lease transactions are considered forth term as determined in the lease contract, that is supported by the planned time frame of operating activities of IPAS "Indexo".
The Group has made judgments and estimates regarding the application of standard requirements to a lease. An annual discount rate of 3.6% was applied to the lease payments.
Contract acquisition costs - Customer acquisition costs
The Group recognises contract acquisition cost assets if the Group expects to recover these costs. Acquisition costs are costs incurred by the Group in concluding contracts with its customers, but which the Group would not have incurred if the specific contracts had not been concluded (incremental costs). Costs to obtain a contract that would have been incurred regardless of whether the contract was obtained are recognised as expense in profit or loss when incurred, unless these costs are explicitly chargeable to the customer regardless of whether the contract is obtained. The Group recognises incremental costs of obtaining a contract with customer as an asset in its balance sheet. If the amortization period of a potential contract cost asset is expected to be less than one year, the Group recognises the costs incurred in entering into the contracts directly in profit and loss when incurred.
A contract cost asset is carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Accumulated amortisation is recognised on a systematic basis over the estimated useful lives of the services, considering the expected dynamics of revenue generation.
The Group recognises as contract cost asset variable part of compensation of its employees engaged in customer acquisition, which is being amortised over a seven-year period. The Group's management believes that the variable compensation of its customer acquisition specialists related to customer acquisition meets the definition of incremental costs of obtaining a contract under IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", as these costs would not have been incurred if no customers were acquired, and the Group expects to recover those costs.
Capitalised customer acquisition costs are recognised in the statement of financial position under "Contract acquisition costs", while amortisation costs are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income under "Administrative expenses".
Accounting for share-based payments
The Company's shareholders meeting has granted the Company's management stock options to the Company's shares. The respective stock options are classified in the Company's financial statements as a share-based payment transaction in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 2.
In determining the fair value of the stock options at the grant date, the Company's management considered information about actual direct and indirect transactions with the Company's shares that is available to the Company's management. At the end of each reporting period, the Company's management estimates the probability of exercising the stock options by individually assessing the expected performance of the terms of the Company's management's vesting period, including length of service in the Company, performance, and accordingly recognises accruals for expected personnel tax payments.
Assets under management
The Group manages and administers the assets held in the securities and cash accounts of the custodian bank on behalf of its customers (investment plans). Financial information on these assets is not included in these financial statements because the risks and rewards associated with these assets are entirely attributable to the Group's customers. Consequently, these assets are not considered assets of the Group. These financial statements include the assets under management for information purposes only.
Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment
Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment (PPE) are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure directly attributable to the acquisition of the intangible asset or PPE.
Depreciation rates of PPE used
| % p.a. | |
|---|---|
| Intangible assets | 33.33 |
| Other PPE | 33.33 |
If the carrying amount of an intangible asset or PPE exceeds its recoverable amount, the intangible asset or PPE are immediately written down to its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an intangible asset or item of PPE fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use.
The costs of repairs and maintenance of PPE are recognised in the income statement in the period in which they are incurred.
Gain or loss on disposal of an item of PPE is calculated as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the proceeds on disposal and is recognised in the profit or loss in the period in which it arises.
Lease
Classification
At the time the contract is entered into, the Group considers whether the contract is a lease or includes a lease. A contract is a lease or contains a lease if the contract grants control over the use of an identifiable asset for a specified period of time in exchange for consideration.
lessee
Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and the corresponding lease liability at the date when the leased asset is available for use by the Group. The cost of the right-of-use assets consists of:
- -
- any lease payments made on or before the date of commencement of the contract, less any lease payments received;
- all initial direct costs.
Replacement costs relating to the dismantling and restoration of PPE are reported separately as provisions and related assets.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis from the inception of the lease until the end of the lease term, unless there is an intention to buy out an asset. The right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by the amount of the impairment loss, if any, and adjusted to reflect the remeasurement of the lease liability.
Lease assets and lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the Group's borrowing rate, at the date of initial application. Lease liabilities are remeasured if there is a change in the future lease payments as a result of a change in the index or rate used to determine the lease payments, a change in the Group's estimate of the amount of the expected lease payments or a change in the Group's ability to exercise, extend or terminate the lease. When a lease liability is remeasured, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-ofuse asset or recognised in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset decreases to zero.
Each lease payment is apportioned between the lease liability and the interest expense on the lease liability. The interest expense on the lease liability is recognised in profit or loss over the lease term to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the lease liability for each period.
Basis of consolidation
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are companies that are controlled by the Group. The company is controlled by the Group if the Group receives or the Group has the right to receive variable returns from the investment and it has the ability to influence the amount of the variable return by using its power over the company. Financial statements of the subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the control is gained and are excluded when the control is lost
Investments in subsidiaries in the separate financial statements are accounted for at cost less provision for impairment, if any.
Loss of control
When Group loses the control over subsidiary, it stops recognising subsidiary's assets and liabilities, as well as any non-controlling interests and other equity components. Profit or loss earned is recognised in profit or loss. statement. If Group retains interest in the former subsidiary, such interest is accounted for at fair value at the date when control is lost.
Transactions eliminated at consolidation
In preparation of these consolidated financial statements intercompany transactions and balances, as well as unrealised profit were eliminated. Unrealised loss is eliminated similar to unrealised profit but to the extent not exceeding impairment.
United accounting policies in the Group
In preparation of the consolidated financial statements, the accounting policies of subsidiaries which differ from those used by the Group are adjusted to conform with the accounting policies of the Group.
Revenue and expenditure accounting
All significant revenues and expenses are accounted for on an accrual basis. Expenses are recognised when the corresponding service is rendered.
Commission income related to investment management is recognised in profit or loss at the time the transaction occurs. The Group sets the commission fee for managing the investment plan of each state-funded pension scheme (SFPS), considering the investment policy, regions, and complexity of each fund and/or plan. Fee for management and the procedure for calculating commission income is set forth and published in the prospectuses of the funds and SFPS approved and registered by the FCMC. In determining the amount of the SFPS investment plan commission for management, the Group shall consider the maximum amount of remuneration set forth in Cabinet Regulation 765 (Cabinet Regulation 615 until 31 December 2017).
The management fees for pension plans established by private pension funds managed by the Group are determined in the regulations of each pension plan, considering the investment policy, regions and complexity of transactions of each pension plan. The amount of remuneration for the Group as a manager of pension plan assets and the procedure for calculation are determined and published in the pension plan regulations approved and registered by the FCMC.
The Group does not apply the variable part of the commission to any of the investment plans of the state-funded pension scheme (SFPS) or the private pension fund.
The Group derives its revenue primarily from pension plan management fees. Commission revenue received by the Investment Company for managing funds is recognised until the related performance obligations are satisfied and no significant judgement is required to determine the transaction price or performance obligations. Commission income is calculated as a fixed percentage of the value of the net assets or investment portfolio of the related managed pension plan during the reporting period. The fund manager receives a fixed fee for the management of the state-funded pension plans and the private pension investment plans as set forth in the plan prospectuses, which the manager calculates daily and receives monthly.
The Company has entered into an agreement with the State Social Insurance Agency on the management of its Pillar 2 pension investment plans and an agreement with AS "Indexo Atklātais Pensiju Fonds" for the management of its Pillar 3 pension investment plans.
Accrued income, i.e., contract assets, are reported under "Accrued income" at the end of each period.
Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency (euro) at the euro reference rate published by the European Central Bank (ECB) on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates for the euro prevailing at the reporting dates.
Foreign currency gains and losses on monetary items are the difference between the amortised cost of the item in the functional currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted for interest income/expense recognised during the period, and the amortised cost of the item in foreign currency at the end of the period, translated at the euro reference rate published by ECB at the end of the period.
Financial instruments
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the balance sheet on the date on which the contractual provisions of the instrument become binding to the Group. All regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the settlement date, i.e., the date on which the financial asset is received.
Financial assets or financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset or financial liability unless the financial asset or financial liability is designated as at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs for financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in the comprehensive income statement. Subsequent to initial recognition, expected credit losses are considered for financial assets measured at amortised cost, so that the credit losses are recognised in the comprehensive income statement when the asset is just recognised.
If the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities differs from the transaction price at initial recognition, the Group recognises the difference as follows.
- If fair value can be measured using a quoted price in an active market for an identical asset or liability (i.e., a Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy) or on the basis of a valuation technique that uses only observable market data, the difference is recognised in profit or loss.
- In all other cases, the difference is deferred and the period for recognizing the deferred first-day gain or loss is determined individually. They may be amortised over the life of the instrument, deferred until the fair value of the instrument can be determined using observable market data, or on disposal.
Classification
Financial assets are initially classified into one of the following categories:
- Financial assets measured at amortised cost;
- Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The recognition and classification of financial assets in the above categories is based on the following two factors:
- The business model chosen by the Group for managing the financial assets;
- The characteristics of the contractual cash flows of a financial asset.
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:
- The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial asset to generate contractual cash flows; and
-
- The contractual terms of a financial asset provide for cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest. Financial assets measured at amortised cost.
Claims on financial institutions are classified as financial assets measured at amortised cost if the following criteria are met:
- They are held within a business model achieved through the collection of contractual cash flows;
- Their contractual cash flows consist of solely payments of principal and interest on the remaining principal;
- or loss upon initial recognition.
Financial assets that meet the above criteria are measured at amortised cost and are subject to the impairment model in IFRS 9.
Impairment of financial assets
The following financial instruments are subject to the impairment requirements of IFRS 9:
Financial assets measured at amortised cost.
For financial instruments that fall within the scope of the impairment model, the allowance for expected credit losses is calculated as follows:
- Financial instruments for which there has been no significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition (or financial instruments for which credit risk is considered to be low) – expected credit losses are calculated as an amount equal to 12 months of expected credit losses,
- Financial instruments without impairment but with a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, expected credit losses are calculated as an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses,
- amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses.
Credit losses are the difference between the contractual cash flows expected to be received under the contract and the cash flows the Group expects to receive (i.e., all payment defaults), discounted at the original effective interest rate (or the credit-adjusted effective interest rate for financial assets acquired or issued with impairment). The Group estimates cash flows considering all contractual terms of a financial instrument (for example, prepayments, renewals, sales, and similar options) using the estimated useful lives of the financial instruments. These cash flows include cash flows from the sale of collateral or other credit enhancements that form an integral part of the contractual terms.
The Group is of the view that impairment losses on assets within the scope of the expected credit loss model are insignificant. This is due to the fact that the accrued income against the three managed pension plans are settled shortly after the end of the financial year, while the other financial assets are mainly receivables from credit institutions and therefore the short maturity of these receivables represents an insignificant credit risk.
Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost
All financial liabilities initially are recognised at fair value and, in the case of borrowings, less directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interestbearing financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised and using the EIR method. Amortised cost is calculated by considering any purchase discounts or premiums as well as fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. Depreciation of ElR is included in the comprehensive income statement as net interest income.
Liabilities measured at amortised cost include payables.
Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have expired or when the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Any consideration given or liability retained as a result of the transfer is recognised as a separate asset or liability. The Group derecognises a financial liability when it is settled, i.e., when the liability is discharged, cancelled or expired.
Offsetting
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, and the net amount recognised in the balance sheet when there is a legal right to do so and the Group intends to settle on a net basis, or to dispose of the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Fair value of financial assets and liabilities
The fair value of assets and liabilities is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to settle a liability in the ordinary course of business between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value of financial assets and liabilities is divided into the following fair value hierarchy:
- Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in an active market;
- Level 2: Adjusted quoted prices or valuation model with active market parameters used;
- Level 3: A valuation model where the material parameters used are not available in the market and are based on internal assumptions.
In the opinion of the Group's management, the fair values of financial assets and liabilities do not differ materially from their carrying amounts.
Placements with credit institutions correspond to the Level 2 fair value measurement hierarchy. Other financial assets and financial liabilities correspond to the Level 3 fair value measurement hierarchy.
Other receivables
Other receivables are accounted for in accordance with the terms of the contract, net of any allowance for doubtful accounts, and are recognised in the balance sheet. Provisions for doubtful accounts are made when it is no longer probable that the receivable will be recovered in full. Receivables are written off when their collection is considered impossible.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are cash on hand and at bank, and other highly liquid assets with an original maturity of less than three months that are used by the Group to settle current liabilities.
Accrued liabilities
"Accrued liabilities" include clearly known amounts of payables to suppliers of goods and services received during the reporting period for which, due to delivery, purchase or contractual terms or for other reasons, no supporting payment authorisation document has yet been received as of the balance sheet date. This item also includes accrued liabilities for employees' unused annual leave and variable compensation.
Employee benefits
Employee entitlement to an annual leave is recognised when employees have accrued the appropriate annual leave days. Accruals for employees' annual leaves are estimated based on employees' unused annual leave days as of the balance sheet date. The Group makes mandatory social security contributions to the state-funded pension scheme in accordance with Latvian legislation. The state-funded pension scheme is a defined contribution pension plan to which the Goup is required to make statutory payments. The Group has no legal or constructive obligation to make additional payments if the state-funded pension scheme is unable to meet its obligations owed to its employees. National social security mandatory contributions are recognised as an expense on an accrual basis and are included in employee expenses.
Share-based payments
The cost is recognised as part of employee compensation, together with a corresponding increase in equity (stock options) during the period in which the service is rendered and the performance conditions are fulfilled (vesting period). The cumulative cost recognised in respect of equity transactions at the end of each reporting period reflects the past period of the guarantee and the Group's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately be guaranteed. The cost or income in the statement of comprehensive income for the reporting period reflects the changes in cumulative costs recognised at the beginning and end of the reporting period.
No cost is recognised for share-based payments that are not ultimately guaranteed because the related non-market obligations and/or performance conditions are not satisfied during the vesting period. Where share-based payment transactions involve market-based or non-guaranteed conditions, the transactions are accounted for as guaranteed, whether or not the non-guaranteed conditions are satisfied if all other obligations and/or performance conditions are satisfied.
When the terms of a share-based payment transaction in equity are modified, the minimum amount to be recognised is the grant-date fair value of the unmodified consideration, provided the original terms of the share-based payment are satisfied. Incremental costs determined at the date of modification are recognised as any
modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment or otherwise provides a benefit to the employee. When the Group or an employee cancels a sharebased payment, the remaining fair value of the share-based payment is not subsequently recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
Corporate income tax
The corporate income tax consists of an assessed tax. Income tax is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income. Tax payable comprises the expected tax on the taxable income for the year using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustments to tax payable in respect of previous years.
The Corporate Income Tax Law of the Republic of Latvia requires application of a tax rate of 20% only to distributed profits but provides for a tax rate of 0% for retained earnings. IAS 12 "Income Taxes" requires that if there is a difference between the tax rate for distributed and retained earnings, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised at the rate that would be applied to retained earnings. Thus, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised at zero.
The Corporate Income Tax Act also provides for the application of tax to the tax base consisting of contingently distributed profits (non-operating expenses, etc.). In accordance with IAS 12 "Income Taxes", income taxes include only taxes based on taxable profit, so the tax calculated in these financial statements on taxable profit, i.e., notional profit, is reported under other expenses.
Risk management
The Group has implemented a risk management policy based on which risks are managed and mitigated.
The purpose of the Group's risk management processes is to identify and manage the Group's significant operational risks, as well as to ensure their control. The Group's main tasks in the field of risk management are to:
- a. protect the assets of the recipients of management services (investment plans);
- b. ensure the compliance of the management of the assets of the recipients of management services (investment plans) with the regulatory enactments of the Republic of Latvia;
- c. ensure compliance of the Group's operations with the regulatory enactments of the Republic of Latvia;
- d. protect the Group's assets and promote the stability of financial flows;
- e. regularly assess what risks may adversely affect the achievement of the Group's business objectives, incl. achievement of the planned financial results.
In these financial statements, we review the management of the risks associated with the Group's own assets, financial flows, and objectives. The Group identifies specific risk factors that it faces in the course of its business.
Due to the volatility in the global and Latvian financial markets and economy, the conditions for testing capital adequacy stress were reviewed. In the process of calculating market risk, more attention is paid to raising the confidence limits of the models.
Market risk
Market risk is the possibility of losses from the revaluation of assets and assets under management due to changes in the market price of financial instruments, commodities, and their derivatives as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates, interest rates, and other factors.
Foreign exchange risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk of potential loss resulting from the remeasurement of the Group's open currency position (the difference between assets and liabilities) for each foreign currency due to changes in the exchange rate of the reporting currency. During the reporting period, the Group did not have a significant currency position in a foreign currency that would materially affect the Group's assets or liabilities, nor did it have such a position at the end of the reporting period. The Group considers the foreign exchange risk to be immaterial and does not prepare a sensitivity analysis.
Operational risk
Operational risk is the possibility of loss due to inadequate or incomplete internal processes, the operation of people and systems, or the effects of external circumstances, including legal risk, but excluding strategic and reputational risk is one of the most significant risks associated with the Group's business and is managed by the Group in accordance with the Operational Risk Management Policy developed by the Group.
Reputation risk
Reputational risk is the risk that participants in the Group's investment plans, business partners, shareholders, regulators, and other stakeholders may have a negative opinion of the Group and may negatively impact the Group's ability to maintain existing business relationships or establish new business relationships with its clients or other business partners, as well as negatively impact the investment plans managed by the Group. The Company's Management Board closely monitors the Group's reputation and risk factors.
Operational compliance risk
Compliance risk is the risk that the Group will suffer losses or be subject to legal obligations or sanctions, or that its reputation will deteriorate because the Group does not comply with or violates compliance laws, regulations and standards. The Company's Management Board closely monitors changes in legal requirements and the operation of the Group's internal control processes to ensure compliance with existing legal requirements and timely preparation for necessary changes in business operations in the future.
Information technology and system risk
This risk is the possible inability of the Group to fully perform any of its obligations or functions related to the operation of information systems in a quality manner, and the associated risk that the Group may incur losses/additional costs due to inadequate information technology or information processing. The Group manages this risk in accordance with the regulations developed by the Group to protect information systems and personal data.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group is unable to meet legally enforceable requirements in a timely manner without incurring significant losses, and that it is unable to manage unplanned changes in the Group's resources and/or market conditions due to insufficient cash. Given the level of the Group's unrestricted cash, no liquidity risks were identified during the reporting period.
The Group manages its liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents. To ensure sufficient cash, the Group regularly plans its cash flow and analyses actual performance indicators.
Strategic and business risk
Strategic and business risk is the possibility of suffering losses due to erroneous decisions that determine the strategic operations and development of the company (strategic, business management). Management manages this risk by not making important strategic decisions on its own, but in an advisory capacity during the Management Board meetings and in consultation with the Company's Council when necessary.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the possibility of incurring losses if a customer fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Group is exposed to credit risk in respect of receivables, cash and cash equivalents, and other investments. The Group has no assets that are impaired or past due. It should be noted that although the Group applies IFRS 9 and the expected credit loss model, the impact of expected credit losses would be insignificant in the opinion of the Group's management. In accordance with the Group's investment policy, cash is invested in term deposits depending on the credit rating of the financial institution and the interest rate offered. The Group controls credit risk by monitoring the amount of receivables and minimizing the occurrence of past due or uncollectible receivables.
Capital adequacy
The Company provides a sufficient amount of equity to compensate for losses that customers would incur due to the Company's fault. The amount of required own funds is determined in accordance with Regulation No. 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013.

In order to ensure a high long-term employee performance culture, the Group determines remuneration that is competitive, differentiated, follows business logic, market practices, employee competence, and long-term performance. The total remuneration paid for a certain period of time must not jeopardize the Group's ability to produce positive results over the relevant business cycle.
The remuneration structure of the Group consists of three components:
- base salary;

The Group capitalises the variable compensation (including employer's social security contributions) of specialists involved in customer acquisition. The capitalised expenses are amortised over a period of seven years.
According to the data of the State Social Insurance Agency, in the reporting period, on average 7% of participants in the investment plans managed by the Group opted for other investment plans registered in Latvia, while 93% of participants remained in the plans managed by INDEXO. This means that if this indicator remains unchanged in the coming years, a participant of the investment plans managed by the Group will remain a client of INDEXO for about 12-14 years on average. Therefore, the Group believes that the amortisation of the variable compensation of customer acquisition specialists related to customer acquisition over a period of seven years is appropriate.
