Market environment – Fundamental changes taking place

Demographics

  • Rising life expectancy and low birth rate ageing society
  • Increasing pressure on state social welfare systems

Regulation

  • Since 2004 and especially since 2008 intensive regulation
  • impacting product level, training of consultants, documentation and transparency

Client behaviour

  • Still fundamental scepticism towards the financial industry
  • Quick and inexpensive information possibilities

Digitalisation

  • Need for smart front-end solutions
  • Smart and digital internal processes necessary

Regulation – significant increase in consolidation within the market due to Life Insurance Reform Act (LVRG)

Shrinking Number of insurance intermediaries in Germany

Trend is ongoing and will strengthen – MLP to play an active role in consolidation process

Effects of the Life Insurance Reform Act / Evaluation 2018 (LVRG)

  • Quality of consultancy and portfolio is even more important
  • Sale organisations with a high cancellation rate lose trail commissions
  • Major challenges for pyramid sales organisations
  • Evaluation of the LVRG in 2018:
  • Commission-cap still in discussion. Politics actually develop implementation proposals
  • MLP considers restriction on a general basis as not expedient
  • In case of a restriction high quality consulting still has to be rewarded – as already proposed by the BaFin
