Hypoport AG: Private Clients - value of new loans brokered and insurance portfolio achieve significant double-digit growth - Seite 2

brought forward, the fourth quarter was strong in relative terms (up 100
per cent on the third quarter). "However, regulation and the persistently
low level of interest rates will continue to make life difficult for the
insurance industry in 2015," was how Gawarecki viewed the outlook.

The insurance portfolio managed by Dr. Klein expanded across all product
segments. Whereas health insurance grew by only 1 per cent (to EUR30.8
million), life insurance & investments - the largest segment - increased by
19 per cent (to EUR66.3 million) and general insurance jumped by 48 per
cent (to EUR21.8 million).

"For some time now we have been of the view that portfolio growth will be
the key benchmark for gauging the success of insurance product distributors
going forward. Only sufficiently large insurance portfolios can guarantee a
certain level of protection against market volatility. Our growth of 18 per
cent shows that we are on the right track in this respect," concluded
Gawarecki.

Note: Neither the revenue nor the earnings generated by Dr. Klein can be
directly extrapolated from the transaction figures given above.
