Grasping future business opportunities Allianz is strategically focusing on new trends and areas of growth

Global challenges …

Allianz Group Communications

… opportunities we seize

Climate change

Demographic change

Capital markets risks Volatile financial markets are generating anxiety.

Critical long-term structural trends include increased

ties between the financial markets of the developed

and emerging worlds, the increasing influence of

China, and the Euro zone’s growing financial clout.

As a global financial service provider, Allianz

believes demographic change to be of crucial

importance. Identified as one of the major

megatrends, demographic change will hold the key to

many upcoming social challenges, whether with

regard to health, old-age provision, education,

consumption or capital markets.

As a result of global warming, rising energy costs,

and a higher incidence of natural catastrophes our

customers are faced with an increasing risk potential

– but also with opportunities in investments.

Allianz Climate Solutions helps to meet the rising

demand for climate-related financial instruments.

Solutions include:Insurance: Car, Home, Liability, Renewable Energy,

Crop & Weather, Cat Bonds

Asset Management: Investments in renewable

energies (wind & solar), e.g. EcoTrend Fund

Through research and customer dialogue we identify

challenges and address them with products and

comprehensive solutions.

Solutions include:Insurance: Schutzbriefe 55+, Enkelpolice (Germany),

Invest4Life, Mondial Assistance products, Super Fit

Program (China), Allianz Index Select

Asset Management: Allianz RCM Demographic

Trend Fund, Real Income Distributions Strategy

In response to today’s volatile capital markets, we

develop solutions in insurance and asset management

Solutions include: Insurance: PrivatRente Klassik, PrivatRente

IndexSelect (private pension products)

Asset Management: A broad range of fixed income

and equity products, including comprehensive asset

allocation models and state-of-the art risk

management processes

� Fifteen-fold increase in weather related

High globalization, technology and innovation will shape the future of financial services

� The gap between technology available to the consumer and that

available to corporations will narrow considerably

� Consumers can use technology to play firms against each other

in real-time

� Technology is likely to facilitate new forms of e-currency and micro-payments

to solve many of today’s access problems for this segment

� Delivery costs will decline making it more profitable to do business with low

income consumers.

� Leaders of the financial industry should anticipate dramatic changes to

business models

Changing consumption patterns

25 – 45s Today

� Electronic shopping: 92% of the internetusers aged 30 – 49 use e-commerce.

� Challenging customers. New technologieshave raised expectations. Everything has to happen faster, 24/7, more efficiently, throughall channels (offline, online, mobile).

� Individualized services and products.Consumers increasingly prefer individualized, “mass-customized” solutions.

� Service-orientation. In an ever more complexworld, time becomes a scarce good. People askfor simplicity/relief, more convenience goods.

� Smart shopper. Driven by future anxiety, especially the target group looks for the best price-value relation and is well-informed.
