significantly. This meant that interesting transactions could be concluded in residential<br />
real estate development and commercial property financing.<br />
The product range offered to Bavarian SME customers in the corporate finance seg-<br />
ment was further expanded. Innovative financing solutions and advisory services were<br />
designed to suit the needs of the Bank’s SME customers, and offered as product pack-<br />
ages matching the life cycle of the particular company, for example combined with tra-<br />
ditional financial products. The range of existing equity and quasi-equity products was<br />
enhanced by the addition of the “Bayern Fonds Mezzaninekapital”, a fund placed by<br />
the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe Bayern with a total volume of EUR 100 million. As anchor<br />
investor, BayernLB holds 40 percent of the fund. This represents a further financing<br />
alternative for Bavarian SMEs in particular.<br />
In state-subsidised business, BayernLB acts as an advisor and transmits loans to Bavarian<br />
savings banks. The Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe Bayern has the biggest share of the mar-<br />
ket for programmes set up by LfA Förderbank Bayern, the Bavarian Development Insti-<br />
tute. Alongside traditional programme loans, BayernLB has offered the Bavarian sav-<br />
ings banks global loans from the LfA Förderbank Bayern since 2004. In this way, funding<br />
advantages gleaned are passed on to SME customers.<br />
With a view to enhancing the market position of the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe Bayern<br />
in the growth market of international business, the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe has devel-<br />
oped a strategy for international business with corporate customers. SME customers<br />
can thus choose from a comprehensive range of products in international business.<br />
Bavarian local governments are supported with innovative, individually tailored financ-<br />
ing alternatives. The Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe Bayern’s share of the market for munici-<br />
pal lendings could be further expanded, also taking the company Bayerngrund Grund-<br />
stücksbeschaffungs- und -erschließungs-GmbH into consideration. A municipal real<br />
estate benchmarking project for the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe Bayern was carried out<br />
successfully in collaboration with the Bank’s subsidiary Real I.S. AG in 2004. Coopera-<br />
tion with Real I.S. AG also provides an opportunity to offer customised models for<br />
municipal building construction in the context of Public Private Partnerships.<br />
Outlook<br />
The first experiences and results of the centres of competence, as well as the coopera-<br />
tive market development carried out in 2004, form an excellent starting point for fur-<br />
ther enhancement of cooperation within the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe Bayern. The<br />
way is thus paved for even more successful outcomes for all those involved. Based on<br />
the measures taken in connection with cooperative market development, the business<br />
volume will develop positively in our joint activities with the savings banks.<br />
