<strong>We</strong> achieve excellence in financial asset<br />
Utilising synergies in the Group<br />
management with our expert approach, long years<br />
of experience in the domestic <strong>and</strong> regional capital<br />
markets <strong>and</strong> through international links. This is<br />
reflected in the operating results of our investment<br />
funds which are, to a great extent, dependent on<br />
developments on individual capital markets.<br />
<strong>We</strong> were extremely successful in this area, as<br />
the majority of funds (17) exceeded established<br />
benchmarks. Several investment funds managed<br />
by management companies within the Group have<br />
received various domestic <strong>and</strong> international awards<br />
for successful asset management.<br />
The Group holds a 15 percent share of the<br />
Slovenian life insurance market, while the Group’s<br />
specialised life insurance company has risen to<br />
second position. The Group successfully markets life<br />
insurance in other markets in the region.<br />
Unit-linked life insurance products, primarily<br />
Fondpolica, st<strong>and</strong> out as the most successful<br />
insurance products in the past year, both in Slovenia<br />
<strong>and</strong> across the entire region. With an 18 percent<br />
market share, the insurance company Adriatic<br />
Slovenica consolidated second position among<br />
composite insurance companies in Slovenia in 2007.<br />
<strong>We</strong> began to actively carry out a project to<br />
develop banking services. The project included a<br />
<strong>group</strong> of experienced banking experts. Banking will<br />
complement other insurance <strong>and</strong> financial products<br />
<strong>and</strong> bring the Group’s range of products <strong>and</strong><br />
services full circle.<br />
<strong>We</strong> accelerated the development of a new real<br />
estate division. Our main project in this regard is the<br />
Šumi <strong>business</strong> complex in Ljubljana.<br />
In the past year, we reorganised the Group<br />
<strong>and</strong> began introducing division-based operations.<br />
Thus the Group operates in the following divisions:<br />
investment fund management, private wealth<br />
management <strong>and</strong> stockbroking, insurance, capital<br />
investments <strong>and</strong> real estate. Division managers are<br />
the presidents of the management boards of the<br />
largest companies within a specific division. The<br />
new arrangement will facilitate more efficient <strong>and</strong><br />
transparent operations.<br />
<strong>We</strong> continued our growth in regional markets<br />
where we are already present by introducing<br />
complementary products to complete our offer of<br />
mutual funds, private wealth management, life<br />
insurance, stockbroking <strong>and</strong> sales of financial<br />
services.<br />
The strengths of several companies within KD<br />
Holding Group both at home <strong>and</strong> throughout the<br />
region were also successfully combined in the area of<br />
financial-insurance products.<br />
