HYPOPORT SE Press release
Volume of new business with private clients brokered in the first nine months of 2015'Even without the positive one-off items related to the increase in interest rates seen in the second quarter, our biggest business unit, mortgage finance, achieved impressive year-on-year growth of more than 33 per cent in the third quarter,' commented Stephan Gawarecki, CEO of the Lübeck- based financial service provider Dr. Klein & Co. AG, adding: 'In our insurance business, we have benefited from our massive investment in the automation of processes in recent years. We have been able to process the continuous increase in the insurance portfolio with the existing workforce. And as we are in the process of further increasing the degree of automation, we would be able to cope with a further substantial increase in the portfolio without the need for additional staff. That makes our processes very efficient and low-cost.'
Mortgage finance - the largest product segment - grew by 49 per cent year on year in the first nine months of 2015 from €4.3 billion to €6.5 billion. The figure for the volume of mortgage finance loans brokered in the first nine months of 2015 was higher than for the full year in 2014 (€5.9 billion). The volume of personal loans brokered increased by more than 2 per cent compared to the preceding quarter (from €46.8 million to €48.0 million) and the volume of building finance loans by almost 9 per cent (from €58.5 million to €63.6 million).
The insurance portfolio managed by Dr. Klein also continued to expand across all product segments. Whereas the health insurance segment and the life insurance business - which is roughly twice as large - grew at similar rates in the first nine months of 2015 (advancing by +7 per cent to €33.1 million and by 8 per cent to €63.0 million respectively), general insurance increased by a highly impressive 17 per cent to €25.5 million. The total insurance portfolio continued to achieve double-digit growth, expanding by 10 per cent over the past twelve months.
