Comparative figures have been restated following the change in the segments, see note 6.

The result from Savings was strengthened significantly during the second quarter and year to date in comparison with the same periods last year. The underlying reasons are earnings growth in all parts of the business cost control. In total, the income in the second quarter and for the first half year respectively 23% and 19% higher than for the same period last year.

Insurance reports a total combined ratio of 83% year to date, 91% for the quarter. Cost ratio amounted to 17% during the quarter, while income from premiums in the retail market increased by 9% from the corresponding quarter last year.

During the second quarter, income from fee and administration for Guaranteed pension fell by 12% compared to the corresponding quarter in 2013, and for the year to date, the income has fallen by 7% compared to last year. The reasons for this are that a large part of the portfolio is mature and is in long-term run off. Risk results show a satisfactory development and in the second quarter amount to NOK 48m (- 19m) and NOK 126m (22m) in the year to date.

The Swedish business booked profit sharing of NOK 188m in the quarter following strong developments in financial markets. The Norwegian business is prioritising the build-up of buffers and reserves for higher expected life expectancy, instead of profit sharing between clients and owners. In the year to date, a total allocation of NOK 2.1bn has been made for increased longevity reserves. The result for the owner has been charged with NOK 90m in the second quarter and NOK 180m in the year to date.

The Other segment improved returns strengthen the financial results in the company portfolios.

Changed segment reporting

Beginning with the first quarter of 2014, sickness insurance, oneyear life assurance and survivor insurance at SPP have been transferred from the Guaranteed Pension segment to the Insurance segment. The historical figures have been reworked and reflect the changes above.

Market and sales performance

The shift from products with guaranteed interest rates to unit linked insurance products continues in the life insurance businesses. The Group's premium income for guaranteed pension products has declined by 7% year to date, while premium income for non-guaranteed pensions in Norway grows by 16% in relation to the first six months of 2013. SPP has exited the market for public sector pensions, this reduces unit link premium income by 13% year to date.

In Norway, Storebrand is the market leader in defined contribution schemes with 31% of the market share of gross premiums written. There is strong competition in the market for defined contribution pensions. Storebrand expects that this will persist as a consequence of the significant dynamic in the market.

SPP is the second largest actor in the Swedish fund insurance market in the segment Other occupational pensions with a market share of just over 12% of new contracts.1)

Capital situation and tax

The Storebrand Life Insurance Group's solvency margin was 178% at the end of the quarter. This is a reduction of 4 percentage points during the quarter. The reduction is due primarily to lower long-term interest in Sweden. A reduction in the level of interest rates increases the insurance obligations in the solvency calculation for the Swedish part of the business. During the first half of 2014, SPP and Storebrand Livsforsikring AS have issued perpetual subordinated loan capital of SEK 700m and NOK 1,100m respectively. The Swedish loan has an early repurchase right (call) after 5 years, whereas the Norwegian loan has a call after 10 years. During the course of the quarter, Storebrand Livsforsikring AS has repaid perpetual subordinated loan totalling NOK 1,700m. This loan was already pulled out of solvency calculation in Q1 2014. Capital adequacy and core capital adequacy for the Storebrand Group at the end of the first quarter were 14.1% and 10.8 per cent, respectively, an decrease of 0.3 and 0.2 percentage points during the quarter.

Tax costs in the second quarter are estimated based on an expected effective tax rate for 2014. The tax rate is calculated to be in the range of 20-25% for the year.

Regulatory developments

Building up reserves for a higher projected life expectancy Storebrand needs to build up reserves of NOK 12.4bn. In total, NOK 4.1bn were allocated to future reserve strengthening by theend of 2013. Booked return during the first six months of 2014 was good, and with a good risk result, this amounts to NOK 2.7bn in total, where it is estimated that approximately NOK 2bn will be included as longevity reserves in the final allocation of profit for 2014. Storebrand has other buffers that can be used to strengthen the reserves. An ongoing effort to allocate longevity reserves to each contract could reduce the total allocated amount by approximately NOK 500 million. The total contribution from owners will depend upon risk results and the booked return on invested customer assets during the seven-year period. For more details about the longevity reserve strengthening see note 2.

Depending upon the booked return, the expected effect on results will be:

Annual booked return Expected total effect Annual effect on
on result1) result2)
4% ~3 500 ~500
4.5% ~2 100 ~300
5% ~1 100 ~160

Paid-up policies with investment choice

Regulations regarding paid-up policies with investment choice shall enter into force on 1 September. The Ministry of Finance has determined comprehensive regulatory provisions dealing with the requirements for building up reserves, payment profile, information and advice.

Changed interest rate on new life insurance premiums

FSA decided on 26 June that a maximum computation rate in life insurance will be reduced from 2.5% to 2.0%. The change applies to new premiums from 1 January 2015.

Result

The result from Savings was strengthened significantly during the second quarter and for the year to date in comparison with the same periods last year. The underlying reasons are earnings growth in all parts of the enterprise and cost control.

Defined contribution pensions are undergoing strong growth in Norway and Sweden by a continually increasing number of companies choosing to transition to defined contribution-based schemes. In addition, a good return contributes to growth. Income for non-guaranteed life insurance in the second quarter is 26% higher than in the second quarter of 2013. In total for the first six months, income growth is 24% higher than in the same period last year.

Total fee and administration income has increased by 13% during the first six months of 2014. Implemented measures to improve efficiency and savings according to the Group's cost programme.

Balance sheet and market trends

Premium income for non-guaranteed life insurance-related saving was NOK 2.3bn during the second quarter and NOK 4.8bn for the year to date. The volume for the year to date is 5% lower than in the first six months of 2013 as a result of lower conversion in the Swedish business segment and negative transfer within the

private unit linked savings in Norway. Measures have been implemented to turn this trend around. New sales have increased by 12% and total reserves within unit linked insurance have grown by 26% for the year to date.

In Norway, Storebrand is the market leader in defined contribution schemes with 31% of the market share of gross premiums written. There is strong competition in the market for defined contribution pensions. Storebrand expects that this will persist as a consequence of the significant dynamic in the market. The average savings rate for employees has increased in the first half of the year, both as a consequence of increased maximum limits and a general increase in salary.

SPP is the second largest actor in the Swedish unit linked market in the segment Other occupational pensions with a market share of just over 12% of new contracts. SPP's new sales of unit linked insurance is 4 per cent better than in the first half of 2013, despite lower conversions from defined-benefit schemes. Disregarding such conversions with associated premium payments, new sales are 20 per cent higher than for the same period last year. In 2013, SPP was chosen to be one of several suppliers in the largest pension platform in Sweden (ITP scheme), and this has had a significant positive effect on new sales for the year to date.

Result

In Q2 Insurance delivered a result before amortization of NOK 117 million (157 million) and for the first half year NOK 327 million (236 mill). The combined ratio was 91% (60%) in Q2, and 83% (84%) for the first half year.

The result is characterized that the risk result for personal insurance is weaker in Q2 and is due to increased reserves on death coverage (adjustment of model) and an increased number of disability cases.

In the business market risk coverage related to defined contribution are seeing a positive trend with a good result. In Q2 the result is also characterized by the clearing up of older cases that has resulted in the dissolution of reserves.

In Sweden the risk result is weak for the quarter, and is explained by a negative liquidation result as a consequence of fewer reactivations of the disabled and deaths with high risk amounts. So far this year the risk result is good as a result of dissolution of reserves in Q1.

The financial result is good for the quarter and the year to date.

Balance sheet and market trends

Premium income for own account comprises NOK 585 million (540 million) in Q2 and NOK 1,175 million (1,142 million) year to date. Ahead it is expected that customer demand for product solutions that cover personal insurance and disability will increase. This is driven by the desire of companies to reduce sick leave, increase job satisfaction and reduce overall insurance costs. However, the market, especially for personal insurance, is marked by many participants and there being a number of new entrants who desire to establish themselves. This creates a new dynamic and increases competition. Storebrand's strategy of withdrawing from the public sector and the competition situation has resulted in insurance premiums being somewhat reduced year to date.

For risk coverage related to defined contribution in Norway, growth is expected in the time ahead driven by the conversion from defined benefit to defined contribution, although altered regulatory framework may lead to a reduced premium volume. In Sweden, the disability trend has been downward for a long period of time, which has led to reduced premiums in general. As a response to this and to strengthen competitiveness, the disability premium in SPP was reduced by 30 percent in Q1.

Results

Fee and administration income develops as expected year to date. The portfolie is in long term run-off. During the second quarter, income from fee and administration fell by 12% compared to the corresponding quarter in 2013. For the year to date, the income has fallen by 7% compared to last year, driven by the public sector being phased out in Norway. Underlying cost control is good and the increase from last year is due to the effects of currency exchange.

Risk results show a satisfactory development and in the second quarter amount to NOK 48m. (NOK -19m) and NOK 126m (NOK 22m) in the year to date. In the Norwegian business, the results are driven by strong results for disability coverage and the introduction of the new mortality tables (K2013) strengthens the margins. Within the public sector, IBNS reserves increased by NOK 35m year to date as a result of Storebrand maintaining insurance liability for a limited period after transfer of the contract. Risk result in the Swedish business shows a zero result for the quarter and for the year to date NOK 15m which is significantly higher than last year and is primarily driven by a one-off effect during the first quarter.

The result from net profit sharing is entirely generated in the Swedish business and amounted to NOK 197m in the second quarter and NOK 317m for the year to date. Strong returns has given a profit sharing of NOK 145m for the quarter and NOK 267m year to date. Inflation based indexing fees amouts to NOK 39m in the quarter and NOK 79m year to date. The Norwegian

business is prioritising the build-up of buffers and reserves for the higher expected life expectancy, instead of profit sharing between clients and owners. For the year to date, NOK 2.1bn has been allocated for increased longevity. The result for the owner is charged with NOK 90m in the second quarter and NOK 180m for the year to date, of which NOK 100m in the paid-up policy portfolio and NOK 80m in group pension schemes. This is in line with the announced plan.

Balance sheet and market trends

The majority of products are closed for new business and the customers' choices about transferring from guaranteed to non-guaranteed products are in line with the Group's strategy. Customer reserves for guaranteed pensions comprise as at the second quarter NOK 263bn (NOK 259bn) in line with the start of the year. In the second quarter, the customer funds increased by NOK 4.0bn, driven by financial returns and premiums. Transfer out of the guaranteed pension has been NOK 7.2bn (NOK 7.6bn) for the year to date which mainly occurred in the first quarter. The reason for this is Storebrand's termination of defined benefit pensions in the public sector in Norway. In the first quarter, 42 public sector customers with a total of NOK 5bn in reserves transferred out. The next movement is early July and about 85 customers with an additional NOK 5bn in funds will move. Premium income for guaranteed pension was NOK 2.2bn in the second quarter (NOK 2.2bn) and NOK 6.5bn (NOK 6.8bn) in the year to date.

Fee and management income was stable at around NOK 30 million. Similarly, operating expenses remained flat.

In total, the financial result in the segment Other includes the company portfolios for SPP and Storebrand Life and the net results for subsidiaries being wound up and started up at SPP.

The Storebrand Life Insurance Group is funded by a combination of equity and subordinated loans. The proportion of subordinated loans of approximately 24 per cent and interest charges comprise a net amount of approximately NOK 110 million per quarter at the current interest rate level. The company portfolios comprised NOK 18.7 billion. The investments are primarily in short-term interest-bearing securities in Norway and Sweden.

Continuous monitoring and active risk management is a core area of Storebrand's business. Risk and solidity are both followed up on at the Group level and in the legal entities. Regulatory requirements for financial strength and risk management follow to a large extent the legal entities. The section is thus divided up by legal entities.

Storebrand Life Insurance Group

The Storebrand Life Insurance Group's solvency margin was 178 per cent at the end of the quarter. This is a reduction of 4 percentage points during the quarter. The reduction is due primarily to lower long-term interest in Sweden. A reduction in the level of interest rates increases the insurance obligations in the solvency calculation for the Swedish part of the business. During the first half of 2014, SPP and Storebrand Livsforsikring AS have issued perpetual subordinated loan capital of SEK 700m and NOK 1,100m respectively. The Swedish loan has an early repurchase right (call) after 5 years, whereas the Norwegian loan has a call after 10 years. During the course of the quarter, Storebrand Livsforsikring AS has repaid perpetual subordinated loan totalling NOK 1,700m. This loan was taken out of the solvency calculation in Q1 2014.

The solvency capital1) comprised NOK 60.8bn at the end of the first six months 2014, an increase of NOK 5.4bn during the second quarter and NOK 6.7bn for the year to date in consequence of, among other things, increased customer buffers and the result for the year.

The excess value of held-to-maturity bonds is not included in the financial statements.

For the customer portfolios with guarantees, the allocation to bonds and held-to-maturity bonds increased during the course of the first six months of 2014. Allocations to money markets have been reduced somewhat.

Total customer funds at SPP comprised NOK 138bn, an increase of NOK 5bn from the preceding quarter. Unit linked insurance comprises 40% of customer assets and increased capital under management by 6% during the quarter.

Outlook

Earnings performance

Low interest rates are challenging for insurance companies that have to cover an annual interest rate guarantee. The interest rate level has risen somewhat during the course of 2013, but has dropped again during the first six months of 2014. The credit spread for bonds has also dropped further. There continue to be investment opportunities in the bond market with expected returns that exceed the average interest rate guarantee. Storebrand has a strategy of pursuing growth in products where the results are less affected by short-term fluctuations in the financial markets. Financial performance will also be impacted by the changes that are occurring in the regulations for Norwegian occupational pensions in coming years, and how the customers choose to adapt to these changes. Growth is still expected in Storebrand's core markets, driven by low unemployment and good wage growth.

The interim results are positively affected by the development in the financial markets. In isolation termination of activities related to commercial lending, defined benefit pensions for the public sector and conversions from defined benefit to defined contribution pensions with the issuance of paid-up policies reduces earnings of the Group. In addition to the on-going build-up of reserves for higher projected life expectancy, this is expected to negatively affect performance in a transition period.

Storebrand is continuously adapting to enhance its competitiveness in its business operations. Among other things, through a cost programme that will reduce the Storebrand Group's costs by at least NOK 400 million before the end of 2014.

Storebrand's results will during the period from 2014 to 2020 be reduced by a minimum of 20 per cent of the costs associated with the build-up of reserves for higher projected life expectancy. The final amount will, among other things, depend upon risk results and returns to the customer portfolios. The building up of reserves for higher projected life expectancy is described in further detail in the introduction and in note 2.

Risk

Storebrand is exposed to several types of risk through its business areas. Trends in interest rates and the property and equity markets are assessed to be the most significant risk factors that can affect the Group's result. Over time, it is important to be able to deliver a return that exceeds the interest rate guarantees of the products. Risk management is therefore a prioritised core area for the group. In addition, the disability and life expectancy trends are key risks.

Regulatory changes in private occupational pensions Occupational pension statutes in Norway are undergoing a series of amendments in order to adapt them to National Insurance reforms.

The Banking Law Commission's proposal "NOU 2013:12 Disability pension in private occupational pension schemes" has been for consultation. The proposal is now sitting withthe Ministry of Finance, and a draft law with a new code of regulations is expected to come into force in 2015, at the same time as the new disability benefits are introduced in the National Insurance scheme.

The proposal involves the current disability product being replaced by a one-year risk-based product that gives full benefits regardless of the period of service, and where the benefits are calculated independently of the old age pension benefits.

On 27 June, the Ministry of Finance established regulations concerning payment rules and customer advice with respect to conversion of paid-up policies into investment options. The reserves for paid-up policies must be fully built up to K2013 before the paid-up policies can be converted to investment options. The regulations will enter into force on 1 September. The Ministry of Finance has determined comprehensive regulatory provisions dealing with the requirements for building up reserves, payout profile, information and advice. This means that each individual customer will have greater responsibility for their own pension and are freer to choose the risk profile of the savings.

To ensure a more stable payout of the pension, a technical interest of 3% can be used. This technical interest rate is no guarantee. In counselling, written examples must be given that show how much annual return a given investment portfolio must return to achieve specific benefits. The industry is working on an industry standard for counselling. Today's interest rates give a low return to the customer's current paid-up policies. FMI allows customers to adjust the equity portion of their portfolio and ultimately increase return on iinvestment. Storebrand emphasises that counselling on a transition to FMI should be based on comprehensive individual counselling.

The Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway (FSA) has established that the highest permitted calculating interest that life insurance companies and pension funds can use for new life insurance contracts and when calculating premiums and associated insurance allocations for new pension contributions for group pension insurances, shall be 2.0% from 1 January 2015. FSA explains the reduction with low interest rate environment and that it is an

objective that the guarantee ought not to exceed 60% of the return on the government bonds. The change will reduce future calculated needs for solvency capital for the company.

Solvency II

Solvency II is a set of rules covering solvency that will apply to all insurance companies in the EU and EEA. The Directive, also called Omnibus II, was adopted by the European Parliament on 11 March 2014 and will be implemented in Norwegian law. The regulations will enter into effect beginning in 1 January 2016.

The European supervisory authority EIOPA has made recommendations for ensuring continued progress in preparations for Solvency II. FSA determined that the recommendations shall be followed from and including 1 January 2014. This involves the requirements in Solvency II for business management and controls (pillar 2) being phased in, including requirements for self-assessment of risk and solvency (ORSA), and that parts of the reporting requirements to the supervisory authorities (pillar 3) be introduced for yearend reporting 2014. The capital requirements (pillar 1) and the reporting requirements to the market will not apply before formal Solvency II implementation as at 1 January 2016.

The code of regulations contains transition rules, including among others that the difference between the value of the insurance obligation after Solvency II and Solvency I at the point in time of the transition, can increase the solvency capital. It also allows for an adjustment to the interest rate curve in order to reduce the effect of short-term market fluctuations on the solvency position (Volatility Adjustment). As the proposed regulations are currently worded, they are somewhat better suited to companies that have long-term guaranteed returns than earlier proposals, particularly if the Norwegian authorities choose to utilise the leeway permitted in the transitional rules.

NOTE 1: ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Group's interim financial statements include Storebrand Livsforsikring AS, subsidiaries and associated companies. The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the "Regulation on the annual accounts etc. of insurance companies" for the parent company and the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting The interim financial statements do not contain all the information that is required in full annual financial statements.

A description of the accounting policies applied in the preparation of the financial statements is provided in the 2013 annual report, and the interim financial statements are prepared with respect to these accounting policies with the exceptions discussed in more detail below.

There are new and amended accounting standards that entered into effect from 1 January 2014, and Storebrand has implemented IFRS 10 with effect from the same date. Their effect for the Group is discussed in more detail below.

IFRS 10 – Consolidated financial statements

IFRS 10 replaces the parts of IAS 27 that address consolidated financial statements and include in addition companies for special purposes that were previously addressed in SIC-12.

IFRS 10 establishes a model for evaluating control that will apply to all companies, and the content of the control concept has changed in IFRS 10 in relation to IAS 27 and will entail an increased degree of assessment of units that are controlled by the company. An investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.

In the Group's financial statements, securities funds in which Storebrand has an ownership percentage of around 40 per cent or more, and which are also managed by management companies within the Storebrand Group, are consolidated 100 per cent on the balance sheet. Minority interests in consolidated securities funds are presented on a single line for assets and correspondingly on a single line for liabilities. As a consequence of the other investors being able to redeem their ownership interests in the respective funds, the minority interests are classified as liabilities in Storebrand's consolidated financial statements.

One of the Investments in the Group, which was previously treated as a joint venture, is now assessed to be a subsidiary in accordance with IFRS 10. Pursuant to IFRS 10, this company is consolidated 100 per cent.

Changes to other accounting standards

There are also other amendments to the IFRS regulations with effect from, or that can voluntary be applied from 1 January 2014. These changes have not had any material impact on Storebrand's interim financial statements.

The tables below shows the impact of IFRS 10 on the accounting lines that are affected by the changes.

NOTE 2: ESTIMATES

Critical accounting estimates and judgements made for the 2013 annual financial statements are described in note 2, step-up plan for longevity reserve strengthening for Storebrand Life Insurance in note 3, insurance risk in note 7 and valuation of financial instruments at fair value is described in note 13.

In preparing the Group's financial statements the management are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions of uncertain amounts. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are based on historical experience and expectations of future events and represent the management's best judgement at the time the financial statements were prepared. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Strengthening longevity reserves for Storebrand Life Insurance

In a letter dated 8 March 2013, the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway (Finanstilsynet) determined that a new mortality basis, K2013, would be introduced for group pension insurance in life insurance companies and pension funds effective from 2014. This requires increased premiums and higher insurance technical reserves to cover future liabilities. See the description in note 3 in the annual financial statements for 2013.

The Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway published 2nd April 2014 final guidelines for the step-up plans for longevity reserve strengthening. These are in relations to the guidelines provided by the Ministry of Finance in a letter from 27th March 2014. The period for strengthening longevity reserves may have duration of up to 7 years (up to and including 2020). Applications for step-up periods for reserves must be approved by the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway. The strengthening of the reserves may be funded with excess return in customer portfolios. Surplus return in one contract cannot be used to strengthen reserves on other contracts. The insurance companies should contribute at least 20 percent of the increased reserves. Allocations shall be made to every contract. The reserve strengthening must as a minimum be linear over the course of the step-up plan.

Storebrand has applied to the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway in April 2014 to take 7 years for strengthening the longevity reserves.

Requirements that the entire booked returns be added on a contract basis will, all other things being equal, require a higher return given that the owner's contribution should be unchanged. The possibility to be able to apply for a step-up period of up to 7 years will pull in the opposite direction. On the overall, the owner's expected contribution for strengthening reserves for a given level of returns, have increased in relation to earlier estimates.

Guidelines for longevity reserve strengthening

  • Step-up plans can have a maximum duration of seven years (up until 2020). Applications to be approved by the Supervisory Authorities of Norway.
  • The reserves may be funded with excess return in customer portfolios. Surplus return in one contract cannot be used to strengthen reserves on other contracts (no "solidarity")
  • The Insurance companies should contribute at least 20 percent of the increased reserves. Allocations shall be made to every contract.
  • The reserve strengthening must as a minimum be linear over the course of the step up plan.

Consequences for Storebrand

  • Total reserve strengthening of appr. NOK 12.4billion.
  • In the period 2011 to 2013, Storebrand has allocated a total of NOK 4.1 billion for the future reserve strengthening, and has also allocated NOK 2 billion in customer surpluses to date in 2014. Given that customer surpluses cannot be used jointly, efforts are ongoing to assign longevity reserves at individual contract levels, and it is expected that this will reduce the total allocated amount by around NOK 500 million.
  • Storebrand also has other buffers that may be used to increase the booked return in the period.
  • The total contribution from the owner will depend upon the annual booked returns on investment returns on customer funds in the step-up period, the volatility in the booked return, trend in the insurance portfolio, risk results during the period, etc.
  • The table below shows the estimated effects on net profit for owners for different average booked returns expectations during the period. If booked annual returns are to be lower than 4 per cent, then the owner's contribution might increase significantly. The effect on net profit is estimated based on an option pricing model which uses, for instance, a volatility in the booked return of 1 per cent and an annual expected risk outcome for customers that can be used for strengthening the reserves. The expected total and annual effect on earnings does not include loss of anticipated profit sharing related to paid-up policies. The estimates are encumbered with uncertainty.
Annual booked return Expected total Annual result effect
result effect before tax
4.0% ~ 3 500 ~ 500
4.5% ~ 2 100 ~ 300
5.0% ~ 1 100 ~ 160

• In the accounts as at 30 June 2014, a long-term average yield of 4.4 per cent, an expected risk outcome for customers and an expected step-up period of 7 years have been used as a basis.

NOTE 3: TAX

The tax expenses for the first half of the year have been estimated based upon an expected effective tax rate per legal entity for the year of 2014, adjusted for a smaller tax-reducing one-off effect. There will be uncertainty associated with these estimates.

The tax rate for the group will vary from quarter to quarter depending on the individual legal entities' contribution to earnings.

NOTE 4: INFORMATION ABOUT RELATED PARTIES

Storebrand conducts transactions with related parties as part of its normal business activities. These transactions take place on commercial terms. The terms for transactions with senior employees and close parties are stipulated in notes 22 and 44 in the 2013 annual report.

Storebrand Bank has decided to end its lending against commercial property. Partly as a part of this liquidation, and to adapt to new capital adequacy rules, Storebrand Bank sold some commercial property portfolio to Storebrand Livsforsikring. Storebrand Livsforsikring wishes as part of the investment management of pension funds to invest more in corporate loans with good collateral that provides stable and good returns compared to investment with equivalent risk..

On 13 March 2014 entered into an agreement for the transfer of loans of 1.7 billion with the acquisition on 25 March 2014. The portfolio were sold at fair value, corresponding to amortised cost.

NOTE 5: FINANCIAL MARKET RISK

Risks are described in the annual report for 2013 in note 7 (Insurance risk), note 8 (Financial market risk), note 9 (Liquidity risk), note 10 (Credit risk), and note 11 (Concentration risk). Conditions that affect the risks are also described in note 2 (Significant accounting estimates and approximate valuations).

As regards strengthening longevity reserves for Storebrand Life Insurance, this is described in note 2 (Estimates).

The stock market has been strong in the first half of the year, with new highs on the stock exchanges. The credit market has also been positive with falling credit spreads. Interest rates have been falling, both in Norway and Sweden.

The most significant risk in the Norwegian operations is the company's return on the guaranteed customer portfolios. At the end of the first half of the year, the return on the guaranteed portfolios is higher than the accumulated guarantee and higher than planned to cover this year's contributions to the strengthening of reserves. The return has been positively affected by strong equity and credit markets and the effect of a fall in interest rates. This reduces the return risk for 2014. In the longer term, lower interest rates increase the risk associated with guaranteed returns and the strengthening of longevity reserves including, for instance, as a result of re-investment risk. Lower interest rates are also negative for solvency when Solvency II is introduced from 1 January 2016.

The Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority has decided that the calculation interest rate is to be reduced to 2 per cent for new accumulation as of 2015.

For the Swedish operations, lower interest rates are, all being equal, negative for solvency-margin and in the long term also for the financial results.

The equity ratio has increased somewhat in the paid-up policy portfolio during Q2. The investment allocation is otherwise largely unchanged over the first half of the year.

Insurance risk is largely unchanged over the first half of the year.

NOTE 6: SEGMENTS – RESULT BY BUSINESS AREA

Changes in accounting policies and segment reporting

Beginning 1 January 2014, certain follow-ups including sickness insurance, one-year life assurance and survivor insurance at SPP have been transferred from the Guaranteed Pension segment to Insurance. The result for these products will beginning 1 January 2014 be reported under Insurance.

Savings

Consists of products that include long-term saving for retirement with no explicit interest rate guarantees. The area includes defined contribution pensions in Norway and Sweden.

Insurance

Insurance is responsible for the group's risk products. The unit provides personal risk products in the Norwegian and Swedish retail market and employee- and pension-related insurances in the Norwegian and Swedish corporate market.

Guaranteed pension

Guaranteed pension consists of products that include long-term saving for retirement, where customers have a guaranteed return or performance of savings funds. The area includes defined contribution pensions in Norway and Sweden, paid-up policies and individual capital and pension insurances.

Other

Under the category 'Other', the performance of the company's portfolios in Storebrand Livsforsikring and SPP are reported. Results related to operations such as BenCo and small subsidiaries are also included. Minority in mutual funds and real estate funds are also included in the segment Other.

Reconciliation with the official profit and loss accounting

Results in the segments are reconciled with the corporate results before amortization and write-downs of intangible assets. The corporate profit and loss account includes gross income and gross costs linked to both the insurance customers and owners. In addition are the savings element in premium income and in costs related to insurance. The various segments are to a large extent followed up in the follow-up of net profit margins, including follow-up of risk and administration results. The result lines that are used in segment reporting will therefore not be identical with the result lines in the corporate profit and loss account.

NOTE: 8 VALUATION OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND REAL ESTATE

The Group conducts a comprehensive process to ensure that financial instruments are valued as closely as possible to their market value. Publicly listed financial instruments are valued on the basis of the official closing price on stock exchanges, supplied by Reuters and Bloomberg. Fund units are generally valued at the updated official NAV prices when such prices exist. Bonds are generally valued based on prices obtained from Reuters and Bloomberg. Bonds that are not regularly quoted will normally be valued using recognised theoretical models. The latter is particularly applicable to bonds denominated in Norwegian kroner. Discount rates composed of the swap rates plus a credit premium are used as a basis for these types of valuations. The credit premium will often be specific to the issuer, and will normally be based on a consensus of credit spreads quoted by a selected brokerage firm.

Unlisted derivatives, including primarily interest rate and foreign exchange instruments, are also valued theoretically. Money market rates, swap rates, exchange rates and volatilities that form the basis for valuations are supplied by Reuters and Bloomberg.

The Group carries out continual checks to safeguard the quality of market data that has been collected from external sources. These types of checks will generally involve comparing multiple sources as well as controlling and assessing the likelihood of unusual changes.

The Group categorises financial instruments on three different levels, which are described in more detail in note 13 in the annual financial statements for 2013. The levels express the differing degrees of liquidity and different measurement methods used. The company has established valuation models to gather information from a wide range of well-informed sources with a view to minimising the uncertainty of valuations.

SENSITIVITY ASSESSMENTS

Storebrand Livsforsikring Group

Equities

Forestry investments are characterised by, among other things, very long cash flow periods. There can be some uncertainty associated with future cash flows due to future income and costs growth, even though these assumptions are based on recognised sources. Nonetheless, valuations of forestry investments will be particularly sensitive to the discount rate used in the estimate. The company bases its valuation on external valuations. These utilise an estimated market-related required rate of return. As a reasonable alternative assumption with regard to the required rate of return used, a change in the discount rate of 0.25 per cent would result in an estimated change of around 4.6 per cent in value, depending on the maturity of the forest and other factors.

Change in value at change in discount rate
NOK million Increase + 25 bp Decrease - 25 bp
Change in fair value per 30.06.14 -73 78

Fund units and Private equity fund

Large portions of the portfolio are priced using comparable listed companies, while smaller portions of the portfolio are listed. The valuation of the private equity portfolio will thus be sensitive to fluctuations in global equity markets. Storebrand's private equity portfolio has an estimated Beta relative to the MSCI World (Net – currency hedged to NOK) of around 0.5.

Change MSCI World
NOK million Increase + 10 % Decrease - 10 %
Change in fair value as at 30.06.14 217 -217

Real estate fund

The valuation of indirect property investments will be sensitive to a change in the required rate of return and the expected future cash flow. The indirect property investments are leveraged structures. The portfolio is leveraged 65 per cent on average.

Change in value underlying real estates
NOK million Increase + 10 % Decrease - 10 %
Change in fair value as at 30.06.14 351 -345

Properties

The valuation of property is particularly sensitive to a change in the required rate of return and the expected future cash flow. A change of 0.25 per cent in the required rate of return when everything else remains unchanged will result in a change in the value of Storebrand's property portfolio of approximately 4.5 per cent. About 25 per cent of the property's cash flow is linked to lease contracts that have been entered into. This entails that the changes in the uncertain parts of the cash flow of 1 per cent will mean a change in value of 0.75 per cent.
