Market Environment

Old-age provision

+ Increasing need for private provision – statutory pension level decreases

+

  • Wide scope of state subsidies/allowances and tax breaks for citizens in Germany

Source: GDV 2014

– Uncertainty among consumers leads to hesitancy regarding long-term investments

-

  • Low interest rates and negative reports about life insurance contracts have led to greater hesitancy
  • Short-term oriented investment preferences for savings – real estate preference for provision

Market Environment

Healthcare

  • +
    • Due to demographic development private provision in general is becoming more and more important
    • Greater focus in long-term care due to decreasing level of statutory coverage and introduction of new state-subsidised product in January 2013

Source: PKV-Verband (German Association of Private Health Insurers)

– Political discussion regarding private health insurance causes uncertainty and hesitance among consumers in 2013

-

– German consumers not yet familiar with long-term care provision

Market Environment

Wealth Management

  • +
    • High investment requirements from institutional investors
    • Institutional business shows steady growth

– Risk aversion throughout the market

– Inflows from private clients particularly into money market-related products such as money market funds and fixed income funds

-

– Preference for short term investments

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:
2016 –
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.

  • MLP continues to benefit from the new breadth of the business model
  • Framework conditions remain challenging particularly in health insurance and old-age provision
  • First signs of pick-up in old-age provision as well as revenue growth in wealth management and in non-life insurance
  • Good start with the extended real estate product offering introduced in March
  • As is usual in the MLP business model, it is particularly the second halfyear that plays a crucial role in the full-year results
  • Outlook for 2014 reiterated
