Comments from Johan Agerman, President and CEO of Länsförsäkringar AB, The Länsförsäkringar Alliance´s jointly owned company:

We are pleased with the fantastic earnings for the Länsförsäkringar Alliance for the first six months of 2017. Operating profit for the non-life insurance operations increased to SEK 5.2 billion, with very strong investment income of SEK 4.6 billion. The technical result also strengthened, with solid growth in premiums of 6% and a combined ratio of 95%. Operating profit for the banking operations increased 6% to SEK 0.7 billion, with deposits up 11% and lending up 14%. The bank’s growth share was larger than its market share in the mortgage market. The unit-linked insurance operations benefited from a high value growth trend and a positive net inflow, which resulted in managed assets of SEK 122 billion. We expanded our fund range by about 30 new funds from several different fund companies during the first six months of 2017.

Länsförsäkringar attended the political week in Almedalen to promote social issues that are important to us and our customers. Climate issues were included in several of the seminars we held since sustainability is a central part of our operations. We are very pleased that our “Global Hållbar” sustainability fund was given the green light by Söderberg & Partners and placed in its Swedish top ten list.

We continue to receive confirmation that our customers appreciate what we do – Länsförsäkringar won ServiceScore for the best service in the insurance sector, Länsförsäkringar Fastighetsförmedling once again topped the Swedish Quality Index’s customer satisfaction survey and more and more customers are using the “savings navigator” function in our bank app. The Länsförsäkringar website was redesigned in June and we hope that it will create even better customer experiences.
