Solid buffer to withstand the challenges of a longer-lasting low interest rate environment
Reduction of profit participation – Future decisions will remain sensitive to achievable investment yields
Healthy ZZR – Reserves based on a 3.5% interest rate and thus higher than regulatorily required
Swaption Bonds – Ensure high yields without depletion of the company's equity through derivatives; bought on strategic high level with all receiver bonds fixed on low level
Pre-Purchases – Lead to an extension of maturity and duration and thus improving current investment income in future years; regulatory limits fully exploited for HDI Lebensversicherung and neue leben
Cash Flow Matching – Approximate matching of liquid cash flows of assets and liabilities to optimise ALM
In addition to measures above, internal scenario analysis supports resilience for Retail Germany's traditional life business
Pro-active approach additionally strengthens Talanx's German life business

Infrastructure assets still represent less than 1% of investments under own management, but are an increasingly important addition to our investment portfolio.
Generally, investments in infrastructure assets can be conducted as multi-asset / fund-of-funds investments, or single-asset investments
| Criteria | Characteristics of infrastructure investments |
|---|---|
| Long-term, stable cash flows |
Long-term concessions, regulated pricing, low price elasticity |
| Low volatility | Monopolistic structures, high barriers to entry |
| Inflation protection | Proceeds linked to CPI |
| Diversification | Low correlation with fixed income, stocks and real estate |
Risk-averse investment approach: typically, indirect investments to leverage fund management expertise in this area, to avoid liability and reputational risks and to achieve good diversification.
In case of direct investment opportunities, we prefer co-investments to lever the experience of sector experts.

A variety of factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control, affect the Company's business activities, business strategy, results, performance and achievements.

Where any information and statistics are quoted from any external source, such information or statistics should not be interpreted as having been adopted or endorsed by the Company as being accurate.Presentations of the company usually contain supplemental financial measures (e.g., return on investment, return on equity, gross/net combined ratios, solvency ratios) which the Company believes to be useful performance measures but which are not recognised as measures under International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union ("IFRS"). Therefore, such measures should be viewed as supplemental to, but not as substitute for, balance sheet, statement of income or cash flow statement data determined in accordance with IFRS. Since not all companies define such measures in the same way, the respective measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.
