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
