The developments in Allianz’s asset management business partially offset the growth.
In the first three quarters, asset management business revenue fell by 5.9% to €5.8bn from €6.1bn in the same period last year.
Allianz CEO Oliver Bäte said: “In the first nine months of this year, we have seen robust growth in our business volume, operating profit as well as core net income. We have also further strengthened our solvency position at 212%. Our focus on execution and operational efficiency is enabling our profitable growth with healthy margins, and this places Allianz on an excellent trajectory to achieve our targets.
“We confirm with confidence our operating profit target of €14.2bn, plus or minus €1bn. Our resiliency as a company reflects the distinctive advantages of our global scale, diversified business mix, and the industry-leading levels of trust and engagement that we have earned with our stakeholders.”
