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
