In mid-November, a new broader communication and marketing campaign began. The process of joining the fourth deposit platform started. The loss in October was caused by the change in the value of derivatives concluded with LHV Pank.
In October, LHV Kindlustus concluded new insurance contracts in the amount of EUR 4.1 million. As at the end of October, there are approximately 293,000 insurance contracts in force. Loss events were reimbursed in the amount of EUR 2.4 million and 13,500 new loss events were recorded. The profitability of insurance remains at a good level.
October was a very strong month on the stock markets as a whole.

The rate of return of the funds Tasakaalukas and Rahulik were 0.9% and 0.7%, respectively. LHV pension fund Indeks rose 4.6% over the month. Sales have been somewhat more modest than expected, with the volume of funds and operating income slightly behind the plan as a result.
