We achieved full privatisation, posted an operating result of € 729 million and can take pride in a strong solvency ratio of 196%. Our customers and intermediaries awarded us a higher Net Promoter Score (NPS), and we welcomed Generali Nederland, among others, to the group. ‘Pride in what we achieved in 2017 is certainly appropriate, but we are also resolutely looking forward.’ The Executive Board is pleased with the results obtained by a.s.r. Discipline in executing our strategy led us to exceed all our medium-term financial targets in 2017. Our operating result rose by 17.2% to € 729 million, with all business segments contributing to the increase. At 15.6%, operating return on equity was well above our target of ‘up to 12%’. In non-life insurance, our expertise was reflected in an increase in Gross Written Premiums (GWP) of nearly 6%, while at the same time we managed to reduce our cost base by € 3 million. The Combined Ratio was 95.1%, which was well below the target of ‘less than 97%’. Our Solvency II ratio, based on the standard formula and taking into account the dividend proposal, was robust at 196% and exceeded our target of ‘safely above 160%’. The sharp rise in the operating result allows us to pay out a higher dividend. Based on the results for 2017, we are proposing a dividend of € 229.7 million. This is a cash dividend of € 1.63 per share, an increase of more than 28% compared to last year. As of this year, we also start paying out interim dividends, which will be set at 40% of the total dividend of the previous year (€ 0.65). We strive for a stable growing dividend per share in the long-term. a.s.r. is ambitious to grow, both organically and through acquisitions. In 2017, we finalised the integration of the insurance portfolio of funeral services company NIVO, the integration and migration of De Eendracht Pensioenen, announced the acquisition of Generali Nederland and completed the acquisition of First Investments. We have already taken initial steps to integrate the various businesses in anticipation of closing Generali Nederland into a.s.r., and on 1 June 2018 our new colleagues are planned to relocate to Utrecht. Improving our service and focusing on customers is a top priority which we are working on each day. The Net Promoter Score from customers and intermediaries is a reliable yardstick in this regard. We are therefore delighted that the NPS from customers went up in 2017 from +36 to +40 and from intermediaries from +50 to +56. Their appreciation was also reflected in growth in our sales figures, with an increase of more than 32% in the number of Vernieuwde Voordeel Pakketten (non-life insurance packages) sold and a 48% increase in premiums for the WerknemersPensioen (employee pension). a.s.r.’s brand awareness also rose in 2017, and we are increasingly being recognised as a socially responsible insurer. This shows that profitable growth and serving the public benefit can go hand in hand. In 2017, we achieved a number of visible results in this area, such as the creation of a Health Impact Bond for the successful occupational reintegration of cancer patients, the creation of a new credit ESG fund in which external investors can participate and the announcement of our intention to provide, in conjunction with Triodos Bank, € 600 million in financing to sustainable projects over the next four years. a.s.r. is also increasingly being recognised and acknowledged in the market as a prominent exponent of sustainability. In 2017, this was confirmed by various studies (VBDO, Eerlijke Verzekeringswijzer and the annual sustainability report of the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investments (UN PRI)). We will continue to focus on operating in a smarter, more efficient and more cost-effective way. To this end, in 2017 we further simplified our organisation by merging a number of staff departments. To speed up the digital transformation and better anticipate evolving customer needs, we also established the Innovation & Digital team to meet growing customer demand for online communication. Using artificial intelligence and robotics, this team is further automating (simple) processes to give our employees more scope to focus on complex customer queries and work that adds greater value. The Innovation & Digital team is also exploring evaluating new (insurtech) initiatives and testing and building initiatives of its own. Introduction | 1.3 Message from the Chairman 11 Introduction In September 2017, NLFI sold the remaining interest in a.s.r. on behalf of the Dutch State. In the fifteen months since the initial public offering (IPO) in June 2016, a.s.r. has made a full return to the stock market. Looking back on the process from nationalisation to full privatisation, we are proud of the way this was achieved. The total proceeds from the sale was € 3.80 billion against an initial investment of € 3.65 billion.

  • Successful NLII Business Loan Fund Continues to Grow
    Successful NLII business loan fund continues to grow Another € 480 million available for Dutch SMEs through institutional investors Amsterdam/Rotterdam, 8 March 2017 – Dutch investment institution Nederlandse Investeringsinstelling N.V. (NLII) and Robeco today announce that the SME corporate lending fund Bedrijfsleningenfonds (BLF), created by NLII with Robeco acting as fund manager, has raised € 480 million in the second funding round, bringing the fund total to € 960 million. This will make extra funding from institutional investors available to larger Dutch SMEs. An amount of € 195 million has already been lent to Dutch SMEs since the fund was established. The parties participating in this second round of funding are NN Group, Pensioenfonds Metaal & Techniek (PMT), Pensioenfonds van de Metalektro (PME), a.s.r. and the European Investment Fund (EIF). Most of these parties also participated in the first funding round. NLII CEO Loek Sibbing: “The success of the BLF is clearly highlighted by this second round of funding. Our objective is to enable institutional investors such as pension funds and insurers to invest directly in the Dutch economy and that is exactly what the BLF offers investors. The fund has already enabled a number of Dutch companies to continue to grow. Expanding the fund increases the lending opportunities for SMEs significantly.” Robeco BLF fund manager Erik Hylarides: “The BLF was established to bring about a change in the funding landscape by offering companies access to multiple sources of finance. The current expansion of the fund and the pipeline of transactions we are working on prove that this has been a success.
