Interim Report 1 Jan – 31 Mar 2010: Good investment income for Pension Fennia in the first quarter 

 

  • Investment income stood at 3.6%
  • Solvency ratio was 19.1% of the technical provisions and solvency margin including paralleled items 2.8 times the solvency limit


Pension Fennia’s total investment income for the period 1 January – 31 March 2010 stood at 3.6%. The average return on investments during the last ten years is 3.7% and the average return in the last five years 4.4%. In the first three months of the year, the highest return was gained from listed equities at 10.1%. The most profitable equities investments were those in Finland and other Nordic countries.

”In the first quarter our return on investment was at a good level even in historical view, and we have filled the gap caused by the year of the financial crisis”, says Lasse Heiniö, Managing Director.

The amount of solvency margin including paralleled items increased to € 1,047 million (2008: € 907 million), and solvency margin was 2.8 times the solvency limit.

”The economic development of 2010 still involves uncertainty, which speaks for moderate risk-taking in investment operations. Considering the moderate risk, the return of the first quarter is excellent”, says Eeva Grannenfelt, Chief Investment Officer.

In customer transfers the number of TyEL and YEL policies continues to increase. In the second transfer round of the year that ended on 31 March 2010, Pension Fennia’s net increase of TyEL policies was 53 and that of YEL policies 175. TyEL premium income decreased by around € 13 million in the transfer round.

The retirement of baby boom generations is still visible in the number of pension applications.

The figures presented in this review are those of the parent company and have not been audited.
