Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Storebrand's fourth quarter result presentation for 2020. My name is Daniel Sundahl. I'm a Head of Investor Relations. As usual, we will start with CEO Odd Arild Grefstad, giving you the biggest highlights of the quarter, and Lars Løddesøl, our CFO, will follow up with a deeper dive into the numbers. At the end of the presentation, we will open up for Q&A, and let me remind you that to ask a question, you need to be dialed in to the conference call. Details are found on the IR website or in the stock exchange notification of this morning. With that, without further ado, I give the word to CEO Odd Arild Grefstad. Thank you, Daniel. Good morning, everyone. Despite the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic at the beginning of the year, Storebrand has been close to fully operational during 2020 and has been able to execute on strategic initiatives according to plan. As a fully digital organization, Storebrand quickly adapted to a remote work environment. It has been essential to secure Storebrand's critical operations and to support customers with what they need, when they need the services the most. We recognize that some customers and industries are experiencing challenging times. We will continue to do what we can to help. For the fourth quarter, the Storebrand Group delivers its strongest quarter on record, driven by continued growth in savings, assets under management, and insurance premiums. The group's profit grew by 19% to NOK 1,225,000,000 in the fourth quarter. Group profit before amortization for the full year was NOK 2,711,000,000. The solvency ratio was 178% at the end of 2020, an increase of two percentage points from the end of 2019. This is well above our targeted level of more than 150%. The solvency ratio without transitional rules was 166%, corresponding to an increase of 16 percentage points during the last quarter. Positive investment returns, as well as strong group profit after tax, together with increased interest rate levels, strengthens the solvency ratio in the quarter. The board proposes an ordinary dividend of NOK 3.25 per share for 2020, corresponding to a payout ratio of 65%. Storebrand, once again, ranked the world's most sustainable company in the insurance category in the Global 100 ranking by Corporate Knights. Storebrand was also included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, ranking the group as one of the world's top 10% most sustainable listed companies. This is an important recognition of our long-term, systematic work on sustainability. Moving to Storebrand's strategy. Storebrand follows a twofold strategy that gives a compelling combination of self-funded growth in the front book, called Future Storebrand, and a capital return from a maturing back book of guaranteed pensions. Storebrand aims to be the leading provider of occupational pension in both Norway and Sweden, and continue a strategy to build a Nordic powerhouse in asset management and ensure fast growth as a challenger in the Norwegian retail market for financial services. The combined synergies stemming from capital, customer base, cost, and data across the group provides a solid platform for profitable growth and value creation. The ambition is to deliver a profit before amortization and tax of about NOK 4 billion in 2023. Storebrand also continues to manage capital and a back book with guaranteed product for capital release. All this together leads to a dividend policy of growing ordinary dividends from earnings, as well as an estimated capital release of NOK 10 billion towards 2030. The only way to ensure a better future is to take part of creating it. That's why we firmly believe in sustainability as a differentiator. The group strategy is to lead the way in sustainable value creation. Our digital leadership and technology platform also represent a strategic differentiator well-suited to accelerate further growth. Moving to growth in more detail. Unit-linked assets under management grew by NOK 48 billion compared to the fourth quarter 2019. This represents a growth of 22% in 2020. Unit-linked premiums amounted to NOK 5.2 billion, growing 13% compared to last year. The growth in unit-linked savings is driven by premiums from existing clients, new sales, investment return, and increased savings rates. Both the Swedish and the Norwegian unit-linked business manage now more than NOK 100 billion of pension assets each. Asset under management increased by NOK 131 billion to NOK 962 billion in 2020. This represents a 16% growth. Within insurance, the annual portfolio premium grew by 18% compared to the same period last year. A double-digit growth across all product lines. The reported combined ratio is 87% for the fourth quarter. If we divide net flow in assets under management into internal and external assets, we recognize a net positive flow of NOK 7 billion from internal clients. That is mainly our two life insurance companies in Norway and Sweden. While the unit-linked products, the Future Storebrand, represent NOK 18 billion in net inflow, the more capital-intensive guaranteed products in runoff faced an outflow of NOK 11 billion. This sums up to NOK 7 billion in inflow from internal clients. When it comes to net flow towards external clients, 2020 has been a very strong year. We have seen successful sales to external clients, leading to net inflow of NOK 45 billion, with especially strong sales within alternatives. This gives confidence in building Storebrand Asset Management as a Nordic powerhouse for further growth. 2020 have also demonstrated Storebrand's strong performance in both active funds and pension portfolios. Storebrand has outperformed our pension competitors in the Norwegian market. This gives us a strong position in the market for individual pension accounts, with a strong track record and a leading position within sustainability. Storebrand is the only provider that also offers individuals private equity and real estate as a part of the pension allocation. I'm also extremely proud of some of the flagship funds delivering strong return to our customers. Here we see a set of brands like Storebrand, SPP, Delphi, and SKAGEN delivers very strong performance across different categories like global funds, emerging market funds, Norwegian equity, as well as more specialized sustainability funds like Global Solutions. This also contributes to strong performance fees and really proves the value of active managed funds. Through Storebrand's climate strategy and our membership in the Net-Zero Asset Owner Alliance, we are committed to transforming our investment portfolio to net zero emissions in 2050. This is consistent with a maximum temperature rise of 1.5 degree Celsius. We also set short-term targets by 2025, reducing the emission from Storebrand's group equity, corporate bond, and real estate investment by at least 32% compared to 2018. We have also targeted solutions to be 15%, at least, of our total investment by 2025. This includes equity investments in solution companies, green bonds, certified green real estate, and investments in green infrastructure. Lastly, Storebrand will engage with clients and offer solutions that make it easy for them to understand and contribute to a low-carbon future by increasing investments in projects, companies, and assets that actively contribute to mitigation and adaption to climate change. With that, I will say thank you and give the word to our CFO, Lars Løddesøl. Thank you, Odd Arild. The fourth quarter of 2020 was another good quarter for Storebrand. Operating results for the second half of the year are back on track after a bumpy first half. The operating results for the fourth quarter was NOK 709 million and is the best in the history of the company. The financial result was strong at NOK 298 million, and the performance related result ended at NOK 217 million for the quarter, following good returns for our clients. The result before amortization and tax ended at NOK 1,225 million. Earnings per share after tax adjusted for amortization is strong at NOK 2.13 per share. The regulatory solvency is stable at 178%. Following good returns in all of our portfolios, customer buffers are at record levels, securing returns to policyholders and protecting shareholders' capital. The solvency capital remains at a strong level. Lower cost contributes to a one percentage point improvement under assumptions. The regulatory stress factor for equities have gone up following strong equity markets, pulling the solvency down by six percentage points. Higher interest rates pulls the solvency up by 10 percentage points. The Norwegian 10-year swap rate ended the year at 1.29%, up 39 basis points in the quarter. The Swedish 10-year swap rate ended at 0.39%, up nine basis points in the quarter. Strong financial markets in general, primarily credit spreads, equity markets, and real estate contributes another 10 percentage point in solvency. Last but not least, strong fourth quarter results created three percentage points of solvency, while two percentage points have been set aside for dividends. The increase in interest rates in the quarter reduces the contribution of transitional capital by 17 percentage points to 12 percentage points, bringing the solvency ratio to 178%. The full year movement shows a negative contribution from interest rates as well as regulatory factors like lower volatility adjustment and lower UFR or ultimate forward rate. This was countered by concrete actions and good results. Under model improvements and assumption changes, there are three elements: better risk management, dynamic pricing models, and lower cost. Result generation is self-explanatory. Transitional capital of 10 percentage points make up for only about two-thirds of the solvency lost due to lower rates. The regulatory solvency shows resilience and stability after an unusual year. This picture shows the stability in the regulatory solvency together with an improved underlying solvency. Furthermore, the sensitivities show an overall resilience to different market movements. Despite this, we know from solvency movements earlier last year that we may experience basis risk between volatility adjustment and credit spreads, disconnect between equity returns and equity stress, and twists in the interest rate curve that can cause effect not fully captured by these sensitivities on a quarterly basis. Fee and administration income is up 7% in the quarter and year to date. Insurance results are satisfactory. There is still strong cost control, and the fixed cost base has been reduced. Adjusted for acquisitions and performance-related expenses, the cost target of NOK 3.8 billion and flat nominal cost base since 2012 has been achieved. Adjusted for inflation, this means more than 20% cost reduction during a time when the group activity has expanded and assets under management has more than doubled. The operating cost line includes both performance related expenses relating to investment products, as well as increased sales commission to external agents. Financial return has been strong, with contracting credit spreads, and positive equity markets. Tax is calculated at 21% in the quarter. The tax income for the full year came from the first quarter, where some deductible derivative losses and items related to the 2018 tax reform contributed to a tax gain. The normal tax rate remains at 20%-23%. The profit after tax of NOK 2,355 million is actually better than the previous year, despite the impact of the pandemic. This is partly explained by tax gains in the first quarter and partly by record results in the second half of the year. Splitting up the results in the three profit areas, savings and insurance and guaranteed, we see savings contributing with strong growth in assets under management and a scalable business model. Insurance returning to good profitability from portfolio growth and lower claims, and guaranteed, especially in Sweden, recuperating deferred capital contributions from the first half of the year. Other profit is down from last year, primarily due to the lower interest rate level in Norway and Sweden, reducing the running yield on the company portfolios. Despite some margin pressure, the savings area shows good growth, good cost control, and improving results in line with our ambition and strategy. All of the business lines show improvement with the exception of the bank, which is negatively impacted by the low interest rate level. The margin contraction in unit-linked Norway is partly explained by an adjustment in income booked in the two previous quarters. The asset management company shows particularly strong profit development. These pictures illustrate the strong growth in pension reserves and assets under management. Some NOK 7 billion in funds won in the public sector has been received and invested in January this year and will show up in the assets under management next quarter. Our growth strategy has worked well even in the unusual pandemic year of 2020. The growth in the bank picked up towards the end of last year, and margins have improved somewhat despite the low interest rate level. The insurance area shows good results in the quarter after a weak start in 2020. The fourth quarter experienced no significant deviations in results. The operational cost is up due to the take-on of personnel to handle the Insr portfolio acquisition and as well as sales provisions to external agents. These expenses fuel profitable growth. A combined ratio of 87% is better than planned after a quarter with few large claims. We have strong growth in all business lines. The growth is partly driven by prices increases and partly by sales. New partnerships in distribution show promising results. The Insr portfolio transfer started December 1st and led to NOK 130 million in new P&C premiums in 2020. The guaranteed area is in long-term runoff. Overall, the results are satisfactory in the quarter, despite weak results in defined benefit Norway, with negative disability results from less reactivation, i.e., people on sick leave not returning to work due to weak employments through the COVID-19 period. Price adjustments in this product line have been implemented as of January 1st in order to improve results. The results from Sweden are up, and SPP has strengthened its consolidation following good investment returns. Risk results in Sweden are generally strong. Furthermore, good financial return has allowed SPP to continue to win back deferred capital contributions from the first half of the year. The reserves in guaranteed has peaked. The reason reserves are up from last year is a stronger SEK to NOK. The level of guaranteed assets under management as a percentage of total pension assets under management continues to decline and is now 50.8%. With the current pace, non-guaranteed pension reserves will surpass guaranteed reserves in the next few weeks. The buffer levels are at all-time high after growing by NOK 10 billion or 37% during 2020. This secures future customer returns and protects shareholder capital. As we said at the second quarter presentation, despite the low interest rate level, we can, subject to normal risk premiums in the market, deliver guaranteed rates of return and not dip into the buffers on the balance sheet for the next decennium. If market returns in any single year are lower, the buffers ensure guaranteed returns to customers without hurting shareholders' equity. With lower rates in Norway and Sweden through 2020, the return on some NOK 32 billion in low risk fixed income investments in the Storebrand ASA, Storebrand Life, and SPP company portfolios has fallen. Euroben has been sold from Storebrand Life to SPP and will be reported together with SPP Guaranteed from now on. With that, we sum up the presentation, and I give the word back to you, Daniel. Thank you, Lars. Thank you, Arild. With that, we've come to the end of this presentation, and we will move over to questions and answers. Just to remind you, to ask a question, you need to be dialed into the conference call. Details are found on the IR website. With that, I give the word to the operator. The first question comes from Peter Eliot from Kepler Cheuvreux. Please go ahead. Your line is now open. Thank you very much, and congratulations on the good result. I guess my first question probably won't surprise you, in light of the EIOPA review, I was just wondering if you could elaborate on what you think that might mean for you in terms of the impact and what you can do to mitigate it. I noticed as well on that in your report you mentioned that it's expected to come into force in 2026. That's slightly later than I was expecting. I was just wondering if you could elaborate on that timeline as well. The second area I wanted to ask on was the P&C result, a very strong underwriting result there. If we strip out the impact of the landslide, then I'm guessing the combined ratio was in the 70s. I'm just wondering if there's anything in particular to note there, and anything particular for this quarter. I was wondering if you could say, of the NOK 130 million that you've got from the Insr portfolio, I was wondering what% that represents of what you could have got, i.e. how much was renewing. Yeah, just to get a bit indication of how much of that business you're retaining. I'll leave it there, thank you very much. Thank you, Peter. If I start with the EIOPA review, I will say, first of all, the timeline of course is just not sure. What we have seen from the comments from EIOPA and Europe itself, it's a long process where you need to go all the way up to the commission and back again before you have the acts needed to start to implement the changes. We have seen 2025, 2026 as an estimate for doing this. You should also take into account that it is supposed to be transitional period to implement these new rules. When it comes to Storebrand, we have been working with our internal model for a couple of years, using that for our risk management in all ways. We'll start also a dialogue with the regulator to have the internal model as also the basis for our solvency reporting going forward. As you know, if we have had other type of regulations, like the stress tests from EIOPA, of course, we would also have a different set of risk management of our liabilities. We always adapt to the regulations in the market, so it's very hard to say anything about the output of such a regulation if we were to adapt to the new standard formula. As you understand, it's a long timeline, and we expect also to move into more internal models by that time. Just adding one comment to EIOPA and the impact. Obviously by 2025 and 2026, our balance sheet will have been totally changed as well, as you just saw on the presentation now. The amount of guaranteed liabilities is going down as a percentage of the total every quarter. Moving over to your P&C question, the landslide outside Oslo, we had limited exposure to that, and also through the Norwegian, is it called peril fund? Yeah. Natural peril fund. There is also some consolidation or collective responsibility for these kind of accidents and with a limited impact for Storebrand. The NOK 130 million collected from Insr portfolios, transferred to Storebrand in December, that's a large part of the renewals in the Insr portfolio during this period. I don't have an exact%, how much% of the total that is, but it's a large part and somewhat larger than expected. That's great. Could I just follow up very quickly. Even if you assume zero from the landslide, the 82% that you reported was still a very good number. I'm just wondering to what extent we can extrapolate that or whether this seems a good experience. On the EIOPA thing, I guess you gave some comments at your Capital Markets Day about the fact that moving to internal model and pulling some additional levers could give some upside to the current reported ratio. I'm just wondering, is that still the case? I'm guessing that EIOPA's proposals haven't really affected your internal model. I know you don't have an internal model yet, but your view of what you might look like under an internal model. I'm just wondering, is that right, or does it also have some implications for the internal model view? That is absolutely right, Peter. Our internal model is, of course, not affected of changes in the standard formula from EIOPA. It's also the same view as we said in our Capital Markets Day. We work hard every day to ensure that as soon as possible, reach the level of 180% in solvency. That is a trigger for us to view ourself as overcapitalized and start doing share buybacks. We are willing and able to use levers to get to that level as soon as possible, and will use those levels. On the landslide, the impact on our P&L was NOK 11 million in the quarter. Every quarter, there are usually some large claims, and we didn't have too many other large claims this quarter. If you want to implement that in your model or not, that's up to you. Basically, it was more of a normalized result. Yeah, and I think we can also add. Sorry. We can also add that in general, there has been less mobility in the society as a result of COVID-19, which has impacted some of the lines positively. Sure. Yeah. Great. Thanks very much. I'm just going to mention, ladies and gentlemen, if you would like to ask questions, please press star one on your telephone keypad. We do actually have nine people in the queue, so I will start with Johan Ström from Carnegie. Please go ahead, your line is now open Thank you. I have a question for Lars on the margin contraction in unit-linked Norway. Sorry, the line broke for me, but did you say that some of the effects came from accruals? If so, can you give some more comments on what you're seeing in the underlying margin pressure for unit-linked Norway? Absolutely. There were some adjustments between the quarters where the income was booked slightly too high in the second and third quarter and corrected with a negative impact for the fourth quarter. We estimate that the running margin coming out of 2020 is approximately 0.8%, i.e. higher than what is reported in supplementary, but somewhat lower than the average for the full year. As you know, we go into the IPA, the individual pension account year this year. It will be a limited impact on margins for this year, but some impact, and then it will be somewhat more impact coming into 2022. The guiding that we gave on the margins, and the margin development in our Capital Markets Day stands firm, and we have no reason to change any of that guiding. That's very clear, and thanks a lot. The next question comes from Ashik Musaddi from JP Morgan. Please go ahead. Yeah. Thank you. Good morning, Lars. Good morning, Odd Arild. Just a couple of questions. First of all is on Solvency II ratio. One of the slides shows that you have generated about eight points or nine points of capital after adjusting for dividends. That looks pretty high, basically, because that would imply about 16, 17 points of capital generation on an annual basis. How do we think about capital generation organically from your back book? That's one. The second question would be asset management. Clearly, the asset management earnings were supported strongly by performance fees in Q4, which was higher than expectation. How do you think about margin? Because it just felt like there was a bit of margin compression in Q4 as well. How do we think about margin pressure in asset management going forward? Lastly, I saw that there's some commentary mentioned that in the Unit-linked business as well, you have seen a bit of accelerated margin pressure. How do we think about that? These three questions would be very helpful. Thank you. Okay. On the Solvency II capital generation, which was on page 10 in the presentation, the nine percentage points also are positively impacted by the fact that we were canceling dividends for 2019. Your equation is not entirely correct. However, I would argue that some of the capital generation is also captured by the eight percentage points in model improvements and assumption changes linked to a lower cost level, dynamic pricing, and better risk management. I would argue that you should look at both if you look at capital generation going forward. When it comes to margins within Asset Management, of course, we recognize the same as the whole industry, is these margin pressures on all asset class in Asset Management. We are able to also shift our balance from more low-margin products into more alternatives. That has kept our top margin quite stable on a 2020 basis points. That is also what we expect to see going forward. On the last question on Unit-Linked margin pressure, I think I answered that for you, Ashik, on the previous question. Yeah. Okay. Just one thing. Asset Management flows were pretty strong as well in 2019, especially the third party. Do you think it's more sustainable in nature, or you would say that 2020 led to something which may have accelerated net inflows in 2020? Any surprise there, or do you think that this is what you would expect in a normal year? On the net transfers? Net flows. Net flows, yeah. Well, net inflows, actually. Yeah. Yeah. Net flows in asset management. Well, we are very pleased, of course, to see the net flow through 2020. We see breakthrough both in the Nordic area, but also internationally. We have set high ambitions also for 2021 to really continue the strong flow and growth in asset management, both in the Nordic and internationally. I should add that we have high ambitions in terms of Nordic and Northern European sales, both in alternatives, in real estate, private equity, private debt, et cetera. This has been extremely complicated in a COVID-19 world without the possibility to meet new clients. Our ambition is that this will continue to grow, and that we will be able to reach more clients when we once again can travel, hopefully in the second half of the year. That's great to hear. Thank you for this. The next question comes from Blair Stewart from Bank of America. Please go ahead. Your line is now open. Thanks very much. I've just got a couple of small clarification questions, please. Just on the Insr portfolio, you talked about the one. 130 million. How much would you reasonably expect to come through from that portfolio as we move through the year? Secondly, I noticed in the company portfolio, or in the holdco, basically, the result was quite a bit below consensus expectations. I just wonder if you can talk us through why you think that was? Is it just a simple mark to market or something else? In the individual pensions line, within the guaranteed section, I think you reported NOK 25 million of operating profit. Again, a good bit higher than I would have expected. I just wonder, is there something exceptional in that line? I know it's a small number, or is that a new run rate for that segment? Thank you. Sure. The Insr expectations were guided at NOK 500 million-NOK 600 million initially. We're not changing that guiding, but we experienced somewhat better than expected start on the portfolio transfer in December. On the company portfolios being weak, you are correct. The running yield has been weak through the year, and there is also a profit on one investment that was booked January 1st or something that will come into the first quarter this year. It's somewhat weaker than you would expect on a normalized basis. The overall explanation for the weak results is a lower running yield in a zero interest rate environment in Norway and Sweden for short-term fixed income investments. Thirdly, the individual pensions products profit was high due to profit split in the fourth quarter. The profit split comes as a consequence of good financial return and customer buffers that are on some contracts already full. It's not possible to add more to that. Also the risk result in those products goes into the profit split. The profit split, as you may recall, on these products, is 35/65. When there is a surplus return, then it's positive both for customers and for shareholders. That is an important point, of course, because we now see that with the very strong buffers that Lars alluded to, with more than 11%, both in Norway and Sweden. Some contracts, then more and more contracts, start to be full by buffers. Then we are into the territory of profit sharing. If we are able to get good returns going forward, that will also be the case. Would it be too strong to say that the NOK 25 million is an appropriate run rate? Just on the company portfolios, Lars, is there any guidance you can give as to how we should be thinking about that going into this year? It's difficult to talk about run rate because you need a surplus return, and of course, the running rate normally in these portfolios is quite close to the guaranteed level. This year has been a very good market. That has led to increased buffer building and also increased profit sharing. It's hard to guide on today run rate when it comes to profit sharing in these guaranteed portfolios. Yeah. I don't really want to guide you on the company portfolios either, but you could see in the supplementary the size of the portfolios. You see the interest rate level in Norway and Sweden for short-term investments. You see the operating cost in the holding company, which has been stable for some time. Then you will end up with a result which is slightly better than 2020. I leave it up to you to put the numbers together. Yeah. Okay. Thank you. The next questions come from Roy Gilley from Arctic. The speaker line is now open. Thank you. Good morning, congratulations on the strong results. I have three questions really. Another question on the Insr. Just wondering if you had any numbers to give on what kind of price increases you are pushing throughout the renewal there. Secondly, you write that you expect an update on the outstanding tax cases in early 2021. Is that all the three tax cases or just a few of them? You can talk a bit more about that because I see that your range of outcomes there is pretty wide. Lastly, on the individual pension accounts, do you have any early data to share with us in terms of activity from customers? How many are logging in? What you see from your retail customers. Thank you. On the Insr price increases, basically, we've put this into our own tariffs when they are transferred to Storebrand. In some parts of the portfolio, there are some price increases, but I don't have a number in terms of percentage points and how much that would be on average. For some customers, there will be some price increases. For others, there will be basically a flat price. In terms of tax update, there are, as you say, three different things that are important. We have comments on that in the notes in the accounting, you can see more details on the different cases. It's primarily the first case, the 2015 tax receipts for Storebrand Life that we expect that we may get some clarification on in the first half of this year. Obviously, we hope to get clarification on these things as soon as possible to put that behind us. When it comes to the individual pension account, it's of course still early days. It's been a week now, more or less, with the opening of the opportunities to do investigations of your own pension account. We see a strong interest. There's a lot of customers logging into our sites. It's a high opening of all the emails we have sent out. We also see that we have a lot of conference calls with corporates, where a majority, actually, of the employees attend and ask questions. We really feel, as I said in my presentation, that we have a very strong offering by having this superior return from our portfolios with a very strong offering into the pension accounts, including private equity and real estate as a part of the offering. I think it's important to stress that the pension savings is much more than just selecting mutual funds. It's all about both savings and insurance. It's about rebalancing. It's about having the right asset allocation and the right, also, risk towards your pension age. All of this is proven track record from Storebrand's offerings. We are sure that we are able to meet the needs for our customers, both on the corporate side and for the ones that choose also to have their own pension account, more retail-based. Even payout solutions. Payout solutions, also very important. Thank you very much. Can I just ask one final quick question, just about the retail side. I haven't heard anything about Dreams lately. Is that partnership still a focus area and something you're working on? Absolutely. Dreams is a partner with our bank, and all the bank accounts that is opened in the Dreams app, that is a very successful app, especially for younger people, to save for their dreams. It's also been introduced some opportunities to pay down your debt through that app. That has also been introduced successfully in combination with the Storebrand Bank and Dreams. That is a partnership that is up and running, and we are investigating new ways of cooperation for savings and debt reductions as we speak. Thank you very much. The next question comes from Ulrik Årdal Zürcher from Nordea. Yeah, thank you. Congratulations with the good results. You talked a bit about individual life and pension in Norway, but I was wondering, is the standing the same in paid-up policies in Norway? That is, a lot of buffer accounts are starting to get full, so it's like the outlook for more profit sharing there has increased or not? Was the first question. The second question is on especially your ESG fund sale internationally, because you had a breakthrough there in December, I think. As I understood, Lars, it's like the COVID-19 is making it a bit difficult to do new sale during lockdowns. In general, should we expect some sort of snowball effect there? That's like when you sold one fund to whoever, it's like you can use that as a case for other potential clients and then so forth. Yeah, you can start increasing your ESG franchise in London, or how do you view that? Those are my two questions. If I just start. Well, of course, when we have record high buffers that support our guaranteed products, both in Norway and Sweden, that makes it easier to reach to a point where we start doing profit sharing. We also see some profit sharing for the paid-up policies this year due to the fact, again, that the buffers are full and that we have had a very strong booked return this year. It's, as I said, very much up to creating strong booked return. You will see increasingly profit sharing coming through. It's really important to see this booked return on an annual basis to have the profit sharing coming through. When it comes to the international sales, of course, we were very happy to see the breakthrough in 2020 in the U.K. market. We also have very strong international sales of our private equity operations from Cubera. As Lars said, we find it easy to do business with the clients we have already in touch with and have contacts with. It's harder to get new cold clients, so to say, up to speed when we are not able to have this personal contact. We have, of course, a very strong customer base already, where we are able to sell our funds and solutions. It's absolutely the case that we hope to see an increased international sales based on the breakthrough when it comes to sustainable fund solutions into the U.K. market during 2021. I should say. Right. Thank you. of profit sharing, with normalized returns, we are pretty much on target to deliver what we should do. If we can get excess returns from a normalized basis, we are able to do more profit sharing. We have been doing quite well in terms of excess returns in the last few years, and hopefully that will continue. Got it. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, if you would like to ask a question, please press dial 1 on your telephone keypad. We do have five people in the queue, I will quickly continue with Vegard Toverud from Pareto Securities. Please go ahead. Your lines are open. Good morning. I tried to withdraw my question as they've already been answered, but I was not able to. Thank you. We quickly go forward. Ladies and gentlemen, Next person is David Booker from InsuranceERM. Please go ahead. Thank you very much for the presentation. One company specific question, a more general one, please. The company specific question is the investment sensitivities of your solvency ratio, for equities spreads and so forth moving, how have they changed recently? Are you planning on reducing them or increasing them consciously over time at Storebrand? My more general question is, to what extent you may see unique features in the sustainable investing of yourself and then other Scandinavian and Nordic insurers. Thank you. Thank you for your questions. I can just start with the sensitivities towards market movements for the solvency ratio. These sensitivities are fairly stable quarter on quarter, always some minor changes. We optimize a risk management for a level that we feel comfortable in terms of what risk we take. These can be expected to be fairly stable going forward as well. When it comes to sustainability in the Nordic market, I think we have a very strong track record. Storebrand has been working with sustainable investments since 1994. It's a part of our DNA in the company. I think also the society is quite mature when it comes to sustainability altogether. We see that clients, both in the corporate space and also gradually more in the retail space, both in Norway and Sweden, look at sustainability and sustainable solutions as some of the main features when they are picking financial partners. I think both from a customer side and also, of course, from an investor side, Storebrand's position as a sustainable company is very important for our growth and our prosperity going forward. Thank you. The next question comes from Håkon Astrup from DNB. Please go ahead, your line is now open. Good morning. I have one question left. There has been some talk about repricing of the insurance elements altogether with the defined contribution pensions. Can you update us on how that is proceeding, please? We saw weak results in defined benefit pensions in Norway through 2020, and we have implemented a more dynamic pricing, which includes a higher price for the interest rate guarantee when the rates have gone down. The rates fell last year, and these price increases were implemented in January 2021. I'm not sure, the sound is a little bit poor here, Håkon. Did you ask about defined contribution or defined benefit? defined benefit. Defined contributions of the pension elements altogether with- Exactly. I think Okay, sorry, I thought you said defined benefit. Yeah. There's been, of course, some discussion about how that element will be priced when the savings and the insurance bit will be more separated going into individual pension account. As we are entering into Own Pension Accounts now, and we'll of course follow the market closely, but they're still early days, I think, here on this element. Perfect. You have not done anything as of yet? We have done normal price increases and normal price adjustments on the line. Nothing more to say than that. Perfect. It's very clear. Thank you so much. The next question comes from Thomas Svendsen from SEB. Please go ahead, your line is now open. Yes, good morning. A question to, costs, say how that will go throughout the year? Should we expect a full increase in Q1, or it will be a gradual increase in quarter two? The second question goes to regarding the amount of paid-up policies. You have now NOK 145 billion there. Is this the peak, the NOK 145 billion, or should we expect that to increase somewhat further throughout the year? I didn't hear your second question. Your line was really bad, Thomas. I can try. Sorry, I think I heard it. I'm a bit closer to the speaker, but the sound is a bit muddled here, so apologies for that. There's still NOK 30 billion left in defined contribution pensions in defined benefit pensions in Norway, so there might be somewhat increases in the paid-up policies during the year from that. All else equal, it shouldn't increase a lot on its own. In terms of cost increases, we have guided that the take-on of the Insr portfolio, as well as digital acceleration investments, will add approximately NOK 400 million to the cost base this year. We will obviously continue to monitor the cost base very closely, in line with the result ambitions that we have put forward on Capital Markets Day, and our ambition to reach a total group result of NOK 4 billion by 2023. You should expect, as we have guided, NOK 400 million more cost related to these two items, but also a very close monitoring of the cost development in line with our profit ambitions. I'll just stress that we are looking, of course, on cost income ratios, combined ratios and cost ratios and so on different lines. We will allow cost increase as long as we see a stronger increase in the top line and ensuring growing results. It's a very strong and tight cost control to ensure higher results. Okay, thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, if you would like to ask a question, this will be the last reminder. Please press star one on your telephone keypad. We do have a follow-up question from Peter Eliot from Kepler Cheuvreux. Please go ahead, your line is now open. Thanks a lot for the opportunity. Just one quick follow-up. The consolidation ratio, now at 109%, so gone up a bit further. Would it be fair to say that a greater proportion of the funds are now high enough to extract indexation fees, and whether the run rate therefore could go up a little bit more going forwards? It'd be great, just a bit of guidance on that. Thank you. No, you should expect approximately the same results as you saw for the full year 2020 to be distributed evenly quarter by quarter for 2021. Great. Thank you. for 2021 should be approximately the same as 2020, but instead of booking everything in the third and fourth quarter, like we did last year, you should expect a quarter of that booked every quarter. Perfect. Thank you. The next questions come from Jan Erik Gjerland from ABG Sundal Collier. Please go ahead, your line is now open. Thank you. Most of my questions are answered, but I have one left. The public sector growth, last quarter you talked about the public sector growth and how many municipalities you have taken into your book. Could you shed some light into the activity in 2021 and what the pattern looks like and how much you have been able to gather now early days? Thank you, Jan Erik. We, of course, are very pleased to see what we see as the real breakthrough throughout 2020 in the public sector with approximately NOK 9 billion in transfers that will gradually come in 2021. Most of the assets already came on the start of the year, NOK 7 billion actually. That is a very good base, of course, for the activities in 2021. We hope that a lot of municipalities, around 10-15 municipalities, will go into tender offerings during the year. On top of that, of course, this is a huge market also for public companies. It's not only the municipality market. We also had great success in public companies during 2020, and of course, is working also with the company part of the public sector, together with also then the municipality. Really look forward to continue the growth, have high ambitions in this area and is very pleased to see the breakthrough in 2020. Thank you very much. That's all for me. With that. There is no further. Sorry, continue. I'm so sorry. Thank you much. There's no further questions. Thank you very much. With that, we have come to the end of today's quarterly presentation. Thank you for tuning in, and have a nice day.
