In this interim overview, we present reports on Folksam as a whole, the Folksam General Group and Folksam Life Group. Group refers to all insurance
companies within Folksam Life and Folksam General, meaning both those consolidated and those not consolidated. The exception to this in the KPI ta-
bles for the Folksam Life Group and Folksam General Group is the solvency factor that relates to the respective legal group.We concentrate on the profit/
loss for the parent companies Folksam General and Folksam Life and the subsidiary KPAPensionsförsäkring.We also present a number of central KPIs
for the other subsidiaries and associated companies in the Folksam Group.

Continued focus on
our customer offering
We are continuing our intensive work in fur-
ther developing our customer offer. Work with
the new regulations continues as planned.
The Folksam Group’s total premium volume in the first six
months of the year amounted to SEK 34,641 million (33,211).
The primary growth continues to come from collectively
agreed occupational pensions, and above all, the subsidiary
KPA Pension. Within the non-life insurance business, the
premiums earned were in line with last year. Total return for
our companies was slightly higher than the levels the year
before, mainly as a result of higher return on the equities
portfolios. During the period, we made several investments
that stand out. In February, we made our third bond invest-
ment of USD 350 million in a bond issued by a body in the
World Bank. This time, it did not involve green bonds, but
through the acquisition, we want to highlight the UN’s 17
Global Sustainable Development Goals and direct focus on
five of them. We made the second investment in April. For a
value of USD 400 million, or more than SEK 3 billion, we
bought green bonds issued by the European Investment
Bank. This will be the Folksam Group’s biggest single acqui-
sition. This means that we surpassed SEK 20 billion in this
asset class and are close to reaching our target of owning at
least SEK 25 billion before the end of 2018. It feels good.
The global economic development is strong and the Interna-
tional Monetary Fund’s GDP forecasts of nearly 4 per cent
growth for both 2018 and 2019 stand fast. The developed
countries in Europe and Asia, like the U.S., have a stable
economic development, even if the world is still facing many
politically difficult challenges.
Within the Folksam Group, we have had continued focus on
development. Not least on how we meet our customers, but
also on efficiency improvements. Although quite a bit is hap-
pening continuously, we have shifted into a higher gear for
the next few years. To create clearer responsibility for re-
sults, we have streamlined the organization to only encom-
pass the business areas of Life and General, which we intro-
duced as of 1 April 2018. In this way, we increase the pres-
sure on efficiency improvement, which ultimately makes it
possible for us to set lower premiums and better terms and
conditions for our customers and owners. We also have a
focus on sales, which we were not fully satisfied with in all
areas. We want to achieve more stable sales over time with
greater numbers of customers seeking us out as we can of-
fer what they need – security. The launching of the new
product Private Pension is part of this work. It is a traditional
insurance mainly targeted at our more than one million cus-
tomers aged 25 to 55 who currently have no savings.
All of this takes place in parallel with the deployment of the
extensive and well-known regulations GDPR, PRIIP, IDD,
MIFID and POG and IORP. In the beginning of July, the memo-
randum on the occupational pension regulations was dis-
tributed. The proposal means that insurance companies that
conduct occupational pension operations can choose to
leave insurance regulation and convert to occupational
pension companies. As the main part of the operations of
Folksam Life and its subsidiaries is in the occupational pen-
sion sector, the choice of corporate form will be of major
strategic significance for Folksam. We will be analysing the
proposal and following regulatory developments during the
autumn in order to make a wise decision on future direc-
tions.
We still have a lot to do in front of us. It’s basically about in-
creasing security for our customers. And in all of the chal-
lenges that we have ahead of us, we can find strength in the
fact that the customers are satisfied with us and are staying
ever longer. We are proud of this. And it gives us a clear vi-
sion of what we should continue to work towards.

Market overview and the Folksam Group
Market development
Folksam is retaining its position in the market. According to
premium figures from the Swedish Insurance Federation, we
are still the market leader in life insurance and third in the
non-life insurance market after the end of the first quarter.
In the twelve-month-period of the second quarter of 2017
- the first quarter of 2018, the total life insurance market,
subject to competition, grew by 7 per cent to SEK 215 billion,
mainly through a positive development in endowment insur-
ance that increased by more than 16 per cent.
Folksam is maintaining its leading position in total premi-
ums in life insurance even if the market share is somewhat
lower and amounts to 13.7 (15.0) per cent (paid-in premiums
for both old and new insurance policies). The seven largest
companies comprise 69 per cent of total premiums paid.
The market share in new policies is decreasing, but Folksam
remains third after Skandia and Alecta. In total premiums,
Folksam is still the largest.
The total non-life insurance market grew by 2.5 per cent or
SEK 84 billion compared with the previous year. We are still
the third-largest player.
The Folksam Group’s total premium volume amounted to
SEK 34,641 million (33,211), during the first half-year of
2018. The growth comes primarily from the collective occu-
pational pension business. The Folksam Life Group account-
ed for SEK 27,488 million (26,007) and the Folksam General
Group for SEK 7,153 million (7,204) of the premium volume.
Macroeconomics
The global economic improvement is continuing, not least
thanks to the developed economies in Europe and the U.S.
showing strength. The international monetary fund, IMF,
expects global growth to reach 3.9 per cent, both this year
and in 2019.
According to the IMF, a slow-down is expected in a few
years, especially in the U.S. when the effects of the coun-
try’s tax reform subside. Ageing populations, weak product
growth, protectionism and less integration of the world
economy are other risks.
However, Sweden is showing continued indications of a
strong economic growth, with both high growth and falling
unemployment. The IMF’s forecast for the Swedish econo-
my is a growth of 2.6 per cent this year and 2.2 per cent in
2019. Inflation is around 2 per cent and the prevailing low
interest situation is expected to continue for a while to come.
For the insurance industry, the negative interest rate is still a
challenge from a return perspective, even if the players have
handled the situation well to-date.
Managed assets and unit-linked insurance assets
At 30 June 2018, the Folksam Group managed SEK 416,441
million (389,341). At 30 June 2018, the unit-linked insurance
assets amounted to SEK 150,229 million (135,552). The
increase of the unit-linked insurance assets is due to good
value growth and a strong positive premium inflow.

The various companies of the Folksam Group showed a
slightly higher return in the first six months of 2018 com-
pared with the same period in the previous year. Folksam
Life’s rate of return was 3.6 per cent and KPA Pensions-
försäkring’s rate of return was 3.0 per cent. It is primarily
equities that have higher returns. However, special invest-
ments showed good returns; but, accounted for a relatively
small part of the asset portfolios. Some special events in the
asset management business in the period January to June:
•	 In an exclusive procedure, the Folksam Group made
acquisitions of bonds issued by the World Bank (IBRD)
at a value of USD 350 million or nearly SEK 2.8 billion.
Through this third acquisition of the same size, with a
World Bank body as the borrower, the Folksam Group
wants to direct focus at five of the UN’s 17 Global Sustain-
able Development Goals.
•	 KPA Pensionsförsäkring exclusively invested SEK
200 million in Vellinge Municipality’s first green bond.
The bond will finance the zero-energy building called
“Omtankens hus” [House of Consideration] in Höllviken
– the municipality’s new nursing home and meeting place
for the elderly.
•	 The Folksam Group bought green bonds issued by the
European Investment Bank at a value of over SEK 3 billion
(USD 400 million). This will be the Folksam Group’s big-
gest single acquisition. The investments are distributed in
the FolksamGroup as follows: Folksam Life USD 182 million,
Folksam General USD 52 million and KPAPension USD
166 million. With this, the FolksamGroupwill have invested
around SEK 20 billion in green bonds overtwoyears’time.
The goal is to increase these investments to SEK 25 billion,
before the end of 2018.
•	 In addition, the Folksam Group, togetherwithAberdeen
Standard Investments, launchedAIPP Folksam Europe II,
a fund-in-fund that invests in real estate, andwhich is only
open to companieswithin the Folksam Group.The intention is
to invest Euro 300 million in the European real estate market,
overthe next three-fouryears, startingwith an initial amount
of Euro 100 million.
•	 InJune, the Folksam Group announced that theywill be fur-
therinvesting SEK 2 billion in the Brunswick Real Estate Cap-
ital II (BREC) credit fund.The fund is a credit fund that loans
capital to commercial real estate through senior secured
loans in Sweden.
Regulations
The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) re-
placed the Swedish Personal Data Act (PUL) on 25 May
2018. The GDPR increases the focus on each individual’s
rights and ownership of their personal data. Therefore, the
Folksam Group has revised its operational processing of
personal data.
New insurance distribution directive (IDD)
New and future regulations are placing major demands
for the reorganization of companies in the insurance and
pension savings industries. In June 2018, the Swedish Par-
liament adopted a new insurance distribution directive, IDD,
which will go into effect on 1 October 2018. The directive
contains reforms that increase customer protection and
create more uniform competitive conditions in the market.
In some areas, the Swedish regulations go a step further
than the EU’s minimum regulations. Business models, pol-
icies, agreements, document and informational materials,
training as well as compensation to employees will be af-
fected. The Folksam Group welcomes the law’s strengthen-
ing of consumer protection.
Written confirmation requirement in telephone sales
In June, the Swedish Parliament decided to strengthen consum-
erprotection regarding telephone sales.The decision means
that a consumer,who is called by a salesperson after1 Septem-
ber, must givewritten consent fora contract to be binding.Writ-
ten consent can be given by mail, email orSMS.
Occupational pension regulation (IORP2)
Solvency II (insurance business legislation) has applied
since 2016, at the same time that companies that conduct
occupational pension operations can instead follow tran-
sitional rules. At the start of October 2016, the Government
announced a policy decision regarding the upcoming oc-
cupational pension regulation. Based on the ambition of
achieving a solution that provides adequate protection for
consumers while allowing effective management of occupa-
tional pensions, the decision means that there are different
regulations for occupational pension companies and insur-
ance companies. In the beginning of July, the memorandum
on the occupational pension regulations was distributed.
The proposal means that insurance companies that con-
duct occupational pension operations can choose to leave
insurance regulation and convert to occupational pension
companies. As the main part of the operations of Folksam
Life and its subsidiaries is in the occupational pension sec-
tor, the choice of corporate form will be of major strategic
significance for Folksam. Folksam will be analysing the
proposal and following regulatory developments during the
autumn in order to make a decision on future directions.

Digitalisation
Digitalisation and automation are affecting insurance and
pension savings in many ways. On one hand, new risks and
changed ways of communicating with customers are aris-
ing, and on the other, new insurance needs, business models
and competitors are being created. The Internet of Things
and self-driving cars, a sharing economy and automated
claims handling and robot advice are concrete examples of
the consequences of digitalisation and automation.
For Folksam, major development initiatives, such as en-
hancement of our IT systems and an increase in our digital
presence for customer communication are continuing with
a view to making us an even more modern and effective
enterprise. But they are also driving costs. We, therefore,
prioritise among the projects to ensure that the projects we
have under way provide the intended benefit. We have also
launched one of the company’s biggest recruiting cam-
paigns ever, with a goal of hiring 125 new employees in the
IT department, by the end of the year. Robotics and Future-
Lab are two new units in the Folksam Group that aim to pre-
pare the operations for future technical leaps.
Sustainability
While the U.S. has repealed climate laws and decided to
leave the Paris Agreement, researchers continue to sound
the alarm of ice in the Arctic melting faster than previously
thought.
Based on the Folksam Group’s overall sustainability objec-
tives, we have identified five of the UN’s Global Sustainable
Development Goals as guides in this work:
•	 Good health and well-being (Goal 3)
•	 Gender equality (Goal 5)
•	 Decent working conditions (Goal 8)
•	 Responsible consumption and production (Goal 12)
•	 Climate action (Goal 13).
The work on responsible capital management is linked to all
17 of the global goals, with focus on lifting up, to the furthest
possible extent, the five goals the Folksam Group has prior-
itised.
Within the scope of the corporate network of the Haga Initi-
ative, Folksam has also committed to be fossil-free by 2030.
We have even invested extensively in green bonds and to-
day have surpassed SEK 20 billion in investments. The goal
is to own SEK 25 billion in this asset class before the end of
2018.
Folksam General with subsidiaries reports in accordance with Solvency II. Folksam Life with subsidiaries has pure Sol-
vency II companies (KPA Livförsäkring), companies with mixed operations (Folksam Fondförsäkring and Folksam Life)
and pure occupational pension companies (Folksam LO fondförsäkring and KPA Pensionsförsäkring) that follow the
Solvency I regulations. The companies’ capital requirements under Solvency II are determined according to the stand-
ard model, which is adapted to an average, European insurance company. All companies meet the solvency and mini-
mum capital requirements. Calculations of the solvency factor for Folksam General (Group) and Folksam Life (parent
company) are presented with a one-quarter delay.

The premiums earned in the Folksam General Group decreased to SEK 7,153 million (7,204). The decrease is explained by
the Unionen and Vision unions having chosen to not renew their insurance in Förenade Liv/Folksam. Assets under manage-
ment increased by 2 per cent to SEK 46,647 million (45,802). The solvency factor according to the Solvency II directive was

1)	 The solvency factor pertains to the capital base in relation to capital requirements in accordance with the Solvency II directive.
The solvency factor is presented with a one-quarter delay.
The premiums earned for the period amounted to SEK 5,981
million (5,724) in the parent company, which is 5 per cent
higher than the first six months of 2017. The strong offering
and the greater willingness-to-pay for insurance among
customers continued to drive demand and the development
of insurance policies with extended coverage combined with
specific premium adjustments also contributed premium
growth. The biggest premium increases occurred in the
Home contents  homeowners, Disability and accident, and
Motor and traffic insurances.
The total cost ratio in the parent company amounted to
104.2 (99.2), which was an increase of 5.0 percentage
points. The claims expense ratio improved to 83.5 (84.7)
per cent. The improvement was driven by improved claims
outcomes, which was partially offset by an increased con-
tribution to the reserve for personal injuries annuities driven
by interest rate changes. This increased contribution cor-
responded to an increase in the claims expense ratio by 1.8
percentage points.
On the other hand, the operating expense ratio increased to
20.7 (14.5), primarily as a result of changed principles for cap-
italisation of expenses, which contributed to our only having
a depreciation of SEK 161 million on previously capitalised
depreciation expenses for the period; however, no capitalisa-
tions were done during the period. The non-recurring effect of
this accounting policy change was an increase of 2.7 percent-
age points in the operating expense ratio.Arefund of pension
premiums in the previous year, togetherwith higher costs for
development initiatives during the period, also contributed to
an increase in the operating expense ratio.
The underwriting result amounted to SEK -187 million (129),
which is SEK 316 million lower than last year. The decline
in earnings can be primarily attributed to an increase in
operational expenses. Profit before appropriations and tax
amounted to SEK 562 million (89) for the period. Improve-
ments can be attributed to higher returns on capital.
The total return ratio was 3.3 (0.5) per cent. This is main-
ly due to higher returns on equity in combination with
increased returns in interest-bearing securities, but also
special investments as a result of higher market apprais-
als of holdings. The solvency factor, which we present with
a one-quarter delay, amounted to 2.3 (2.3) for the parent
company.
The funding ratio increased to 174 (156) per cent in the par-
ent company.

Events during the period (Jan-June):
•	 Folksam launched the new digital service “Find care pro-
viders abroad” to help the customers find quality-assured
doctor’s offices and at the same time reduce the costs for
travel claims.
•	 The commercial business concluded the restructuring that
characterised the operations in recent years and meant that
operations were concentrated to certain markets and com-
panies.
•	 The principle for capitalisation of expenses in Folksam Gen-
eral has been changed. Direct and variable expenses are
capitalised if existing conditions are right for capitalisation.
Direct and variable expenses refers to advance commissions
and flat fees that are paid to sales personnel, insurance in-
termediaries or other distributors. Because Folksam General
has changed the commissions for internal and external
salespersons and insurance intermediaries, no capital-
isation will be done from 1 January 2018.This means that
forthe period of January-June 2018 operating expenses
been debited SEK 161 million in depreciations related to
capitalisation from the previous year. The change is rec-
ognised as prospective, which means that no comparative
figures have been restated.

increased to SEK 5,493 million (5,269). The increase was
due to increased sales within brokered channels and main-
ly came from savings products of individual occupational
pensions and individual savings insurance. Premiums
within individual occupational pensions amounted to SEK
792 million. Risk products increased somewhat in premium
volume. Operating expenses increased by SEK 78 million
which corresponds to thirteen per cent; the increase was due
to higher development costs, higher commission costs due
to increased sales within brokered channels and redirec-
tion of sales. The total return for the period amounted to 3.6
(2.3) per cent and contributed to the positive underwriting
result. Above all, it was the higher return from equities in the
second quarter that resulted in a higher total return for the
period. Seen over the past five years 2013-2017, the annual
average total return for Folksam Life was 7.1 per cent. The
total return for the past ten-year period, 2008-2017, was 6.9
per cent per year. The solvency ratio in the parent company
increased to 168 (165) per cent as of 30 June 2018. Good
value trends and a positive cash flow contributed to the im-
proved solvency ratio. The solvency factor for mixed com-
panies, which we present with a one-quarter delay, is stable
and amounted to 3.8 for the parent company. The collective
funding ratio for the defined-contribution occupational pen-
sion insurance amounted to 121 per cent on 30 June 2018
and 120 per cent for other life insurance business.

Premiums written for KPA Pensionförsäkring increased
and amounted to SEK 13,081 million (12,035). The rea-
son for the strong development is that KPA Pension as the
default option in defined-contribution pensions annually
automatically receives many new customers. In connec-
tion with 2018’s brokering, 120,000 (115,000) new pension
savers were added, who are covered by the KAP-KL and
AKAP-KL pension agreements. The underwriting result
was benefited by a positive cash flow and amounted to SEK
8,929 million (7,693). The administrative cost ratio in KPA
Pensionsförsäkring was 0.1 (0.1). KPA Pensionsförsäkring’s
solvency ratio at period-end was 172 (168) per cent. The
positive cashflow was the main contributor to the improved
solvency ratio. The solvency factor, which we present with
a one-quarter delay, amounted to 17.2 (16.2) for KPA Pen-
sionsförsäkring. The total return amounted to 3.0 (2.7) per
cent for the period and the rate of return was 3.1 (2.8) per
cent. Viewed over the past ten years, 2008-2017, the annual
average total return for KPA Pensionsförsäkring was 7.5 per
cent.

Folksam Interim Report January - June 2018

  • 1. 1 Interim Report January-June 2018 The Folksam Group 2018 Q2 Q3Q1 Q4
  • 2. 2 Significant events during the period (Jan-June): • Folksam launched the new product Private Pension. It is a traditional insurance mainly targeted at the more than one million of Folksam’s customers aged 25 to 55 who currently have no savings. • In an exclusive procedure, the Folksam Group made ac- quisitions of bonds issued by the World Bank (IBRD) at a value of USD 350 million or nearly SEK 2.8 billion. • Folksam launched the new digital service “Find carepro- viders abroad”to help customers find qualityassured doc- tor’s offices. • For the seventh consecutive year, KPA Pension tops the list of the pension industry’s most sustainable brands and Folksam ranks second in the insurance industry in the large survey by the Sustainable Brand Index. • As of 29 March 2018, KPA Pensionsförsäkring adapted the guaranteed interest rate level for defined-contribution, traditional insurance from 0.75 per cent to 0.50 per cent before taxes and fees. The guarantee is calculated on 85 per cent of the amount paid in. • The Folksam Group bought green bonds issued by the European Investment Bank at a value of over SEK 3 billion (USD 400 million). This will be the Folksam Group’s big- gest single acquisition. • Together with Aberdeen Standard Investment, the Folk- sam Group launched a fund-in-fund for real estate invest- ments that is only open to companies within the Folksam Group. The object is to invest Euro 300 million in the Euro- pean market over the next three to four years. • The Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority approved the transfer of Förenade Livs’ insurance portfolio to Folk- sam General and Folksam Life. The transfer was conduct- ed on 1 June.

Outcome for the period January to June 2018 is equivalent to the outcome for the full year 2017. The new FCI measurement does not include partners and com- panies, but rather only private and individual markets. In this interim overview, we present reports on Folksam as a whole, the Folksam General Group and Folksam Life Group. Group refers to all insurance companies within Folksam Life and Folksam General, meaning both those consolidated and those not consolidated. The exception to this in the KPI ta- bles for the Folksam Life Group and Folksam General Group is the solvency factor that relates to the respective legal group.We concentrate on the profit/ loss for the parent companies Folksam General and Folksam Life and the subsidiary KPAPensionsförsäkring.We also present a number of central KPIs for the other subsidiaries and associated companies in the Folksam Group.

  • 3. 3 Continued focus on our customer offering We are continuing our intensive work in fur- ther developing our customer offer. Work with the new regulations continues as planned. The Folksam Group’s total premium volume in the first six months of the year amounted to SEK 34,641 million (33,211). The primary growth continues to come from collectively agreed occupational pensions, and above all, the subsidiary KPA Pension. Within the non-life insurance business, the premiums earned were in line with last year. Total return for our companies was slightly higher than the levels the year before, mainly as a result of higher return on the equities portfolios. During the period, we made several investments that stand out. In February, we made our third bond invest- ment of USD 350 million in a bond issued by a body in the World Bank. This time, it did not involve green bonds, but through the acquisition, we want to highlight the UN’s 17 Global Sustainable Development Goals and direct focus on five of them. We made the second investment in April. For a value of USD 400 million, or more than SEK 3 billion, we bought green bonds issued by the European Investment Bank. This will be the Folksam Group’s biggest single acqui- sition. This means that we surpassed SEK 20 billion in this asset class and are close to reaching our target of owning at least SEK 25 billion before the end of 2018. It feels good. The global economic development is strong and the Interna- tional Monetary Fund’s GDP forecasts of nearly 4 per cent growth for both 2018 and 2019 stand fast. The developed countries in Europe and Asia, like the U.S., have a stable economic development, even if the world is still facing many politically difficult challenges. Within the Folksam Group, we have had continued focus on development. Not least on how we meet our customers, but also on efficiency improvements. Although quite a bit is hap- pening continuously, we have shifted into a higher gear for the next few years. To create clearer responsibility for re- sults, we have streamlined the organization to only encom- pass the business areas of Life and General, which we intro- duced as of 1 April 2018. In this way, we increase the pres- sure on efficiency improvement, which ultimately makes it possible for us to set lower premiums and better terms and conditions for our customers and owners. We also have a focus on sales, which we were not fully satisfied with in all areas. We want to achieve more stable sales over time with greater numbers of customers seeking us out as we can of- fer what they need – security. The launching of the new product Private Pension is part of this work. It is a traditional insurance mainly targeted at our more than one million cus- tomers aged 25 to 55 who currently have no savings. All of this takes place in parallel with the deployment of the extensive and well-known regulations GDPR, PRIIP, IDD, MIFID and POG and IORP. In the beginning of July, the memo- randum on the occupational pension regulations was dis- tributed. The proposal means that insurance companies that conduct occupational pension operations can choose to leave insurance regulation and convert to occupational pension companies. As the main part of the operations of Folksam Life and its subsidiaries is in the occupational pen- sion sector, the choice of corporate form will be of major strategic significance for Folksam. We will be analysing the proposal and following regulatory developments during the autumn in order to make a wise decision on future direc- tions. We still have a lot to do in front of us. It’s basically about in- creasing security for our customers. And in all of the chal- lenges that we have ahead of us, we can find strength in the fact that the customers are satisfied with us and are staying ever longer. We are proud of this. And it gives us a clear vi- sion of what we should continue to work towards. Jens Henriksson President and CEO
  • 4. 4 Market overview and the Folksam Group Market development Folksam is retaining its position in the market. According to premium figures from the Swedish Insurance Federation, we are still the market leader in life insurance and third in the non-life insurance market after the end of the first quarter. In the twelve-month-period of the second quarter of 2017 - the first quarter of 2018, the total life insurance market, subject to competition, grew by 7 per cent to SEK 215 billion, mainly through a positive development in endowment insur- ance that increased by more than 16 per cent. Folksam is maintaining its leading position in total premi- ums in life insurance even if the market share is somewhat lower and amounts to 13.7 (15.0) per cent (paid-in premiums for both old and new insurance policies). The seven largest companies comprise 69 per cent of total premiums paid. The market share in new policies is decreasing, but Folksam remains third after Skandia and Alecta. In total premiums, Folksam is still the largest. The total non-life insurance market grew by 2.5 per cent or SEK 84 billion compared with the previous year. We are still the third-largest player. The Folksam Group’s total premium volume amounted to SEK 34,641 million (33,211), during the first half-year of 2018. The growth comes primarily from the collective occu- pational pension business. The Folksam Life Group account- ed for SEK 27,488 million (26,007) and the Folksam General Group for SEK 7,153 million (7,204) of the premium volume. Macroeconomics The global economic improvement is continuing, not least thanks to the developed economies in Europe and the U.S. showing strength. The international monetary fund, IMF, expects global growth to reach 3.9 per cent, both this year and in 2019. According to the IMF, a slow-down is expected in a few years, especially in the U.S. when the effects of the coun- try’s tax reform subside. Ageing populations, weak product growth, protectionism and less integration of the world economy are other risks. However, Sweden is showing continued indications of a strong economic growth, with both high growth and falling unemployment. The IMF’s forecast for the Swedish econo- my is a growth of 2.6 per cent this year and 2.2 per cent in 2019. Inflation is around 2 per cent and the prevailing low interest situation is expected to continue for a while to come. For the insurance industry, the negative interest rate is still a challenge from a return perspective, even if the players have handled the situation well to-date. Managed assets and unit-linked insurance assets At 30 June 2018, the Folksam Group managed SEK 416,441 million (389,341). At 30 June 2018, the unit-linked insurance assets amounted to SEK 150,229 million (135,552). The increase of the unit-linked insurance assets is due to good value growth and a strong positive premium inflow.

  • 5. 5 The various companies of the Folksam Group showed a slightly higher return in the first six months of 2018 com- pared with the same period in the previous year. Folksam Life’s rate of return was 3.6 per cent and KPA Pensions- försäkring’s rate of return was 3.0 per cent. It is primarily equities that have higher returns. However, special invest- ments showed good returns; but, accounted for a relatively small part of the asset portfolios. Some special events in the asset management business in the period January to June: • In an exclusive procedure, the Folksam Group made acquisitions of bonds issued by the World Bank (IBRD) at a value of USD 350 million or nearly SEK 2.8 billion. Through this third acquisition of the same size, with a World Bank body as the borrower, the Folksam Group wants to direct focus at five of the UN’s 17 Global Sustain- able Development Goals. • KPA Pensionsförsäkring exclusively invested SEK 200 million in Vellinge Municipality’s first green bond. The bond will finance the zero-energy building called “Omtankens hus” [House of Consideration] in Höllviken – the municipality’s new nursing home and meeting place for the elderly. • The Folksam Group bought green bonds issued by the European Investment Bank at a value of over SEK 3 billion (USD 400 million). This will be the Folksam Group’s big- gest single acquisition. The investments are distributed in the FolksamGroup as follows: Folksam Life USD 182 million, Folksam General USD 52 million and KPAPension USD 166 million. With this, the FolksamGroupwill have invested around SEK 20 billion in green bonds overtwoyears’time. The goal is to increase these investments to SEK 25 billion, before the end of 2018. • In addition, the Folksam Group, togetherwithAberdeen Standard Investments, launchedAIPP Folksam Europe II, a fund-in-fund that invests in real estate, andwhich is only open to companieswithin the Folksam Group.The intention is to invest Euro 300 million in the European real estate market, overthe next three-fouryears, startingwith an initial amount of Euro 100 million. • InJune, the Folksam Group announced that theywill be fur- therinvesting SEK 2 billion in the Brunswick Real Estate Cap- ital II (BREC) credit fund.The fund is a credit fund that loans capital to commercial real estate through senior secured loans in Sweden. Regulations The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) re- placed the Swedish Personal Data Act (PUL) on 25 May 2018. The GDPR increases the focus on each individual’s rights and ownership of their personal data. Therefore, the Folksam Group has revised its operational processing of personal data. New insurance distribution directive (IDD) New and future regulations are placing major demands for the reorganization of companies in the insurance and pension savings industries. In June 2018, the Swedish Par- liament adopted a new insurance distribution directive, IDD, which will go into effect on 1 October 2018. The directive contains reforms that increase customer protection and create more uniform competitive conditions in the market. In some areas, the Swedish regulations go a step further than the EU’s minimum regulations. Business models, pol- icies, agreements, document and informational materials, training as well as compensation to employees will be af- fected. The Folksam Group welcomes the law’s strengthen- ing of consumer protection. Written confirmation requirement in telephone sales In June, the Swedish Parliament decided to strengthen consum- erprotection regarding telephone sales.The decision means that a consumer,who is called by a salesperson after1 Septem- ber, must givewritten consent fora contract to be binding.Writ- ten consent can be given by mail, email orSMS. Occupational pension regulation (IORP2) Solvency II (insurance business legislation) has applied since 2016, at the same time that companies that conduct occupational pension operations can instead follow tran- sitional rules. At the start of October 2016, the Government announced a policy decision regarding the upcoming oc- cupational pension regulation. Based on the ambition of achieving a solution that provides adequate protection for consumers while allowing effective management of occupa- tional pensions, the decision means that there are different regulations for occupational pension companies and insur- ance companies. In the beginning of July, the memorandum on the occupational pension regulations was distributed. The proposal means that insurance companies that con- duct occupational pension operations can choose to leave insurance regulation and convert to occupational pension companies. As the main part of the operations of Folksam Life and its subsidiaries is in the occupational pension sec- tor, the choice of corporate form will be of major strategic significance for Folksam. Folksam will be analysing the proposal and following regulatory developments during the autumn in order to make a decision on future directions.
  • 6. 6 Digitalisation Digitalisation and automation are affecting insurance and pension savings in many ways. On one hand, new risks and changed ways of communicating with customers are aris- ing, and on the other, new insurance needs, business models and competitors are being created. The Internet of Things and self-driving cars, a sharing economy and automated claims handling and robot advice are concrete examples of the consequences of digitalisation and automation. For Folksam, major development initiatives, such as en- hancement of our IT systems and an increase in our digital presence for customer communication are continuing with a view to making us an even more modern and effective enterprise. But they are also driving costs. We, therefore, prioritise among the projects to ensure that the projects we have under way provide the intended benefit. We have also launched one of the company’s biggest recruiting cam- paigns ever, with a goal of hiring 125 new employees in the IT department, by the end of the year. Robotics and Future- Lab are two new units in the Folksam Group that aim to pre- pare the operations for future technical leaps. Sustainability While the U.S. has repealed climate laws and decided to leave the Paris Agreement, researchers continue to sound the alarm of ice in the Arctic melting faster than previously thought. Based on the Folksam Group’s overall sustainability objec- tives, we have identified five of the UN’s Global Sustainable Development Goals as guides in this work: • Good health and well-being (Goal 3) • Gender equality (Goal 5) • Decent working conditions (Goal 8) • Responsible consumption and production (Goal 12) • Climate action (Goal 13). The work on responsible capital management is linked to all 17 of the global goals, with focus on lifting up, to the furthest possible extent, the five goals the Folksam Group has prior- itised. Within the scope of the corporate network of the Haga Initi- ative, Folksam has also committed to be fossil-free by 2030. We have even invested extensively in green bonds and to- day have surpassed SEK 20 billion in investments. The goal is to own SEK 25 billion in this asset class before the end of 2018. Folksam General with subsidiaries reports in accordance with Solvency II. Folksam Life with subsidiaries has pure Sol- vency II companies (KPA Livförsäkring), companies with mixed operations (Folksam Fondförsäkring and Folksam Life) and pure occupational pension companies (Folksam LO fondförsäkring and KPA Pensionsförsäkring) that follow the Solvency I regulations. The companies’ capital requirements under Solvency II are determined according to the stand- ard model, which is adapted to an average, European insurance company. All companies meet the solvency and mini- mum capital requirements. Calculations of the solvency factor for Folksam General (Group) and Folksam Life (parent company) are presented with a one-quarter delay.

The decrease is explained by the Unionen and Vision unions having chosen to not renew their insurance in Förenade Liv/Folksam. Assets under manage- ment increased by 2 per cent to SEK 46,647 million (45,802). The solvency factor according to the Solvency II directive was 2.1 (2.1). Folksam General (parent company) Jan-June 2018 Jan-June 2017 2017 2016 Premiums earned, SEK million 5,981 5,724 11,671 11,298 Underwriting result, SEK million -187 129 108 -250 Profit/loss before appropriations and income tax, SEK million 562 89 913 1,746 Total expenses, % 104.2 99.2 97.9 100.8 of which claims expenses, % 83.5 84.7 82.7 84.0 of which operating expenses, % 20.7 14.5 15.2 16.8 Total return, % 3.3 0.5 3.4 6.6 Solvency capital, at period-end, % 20,875 17,993 18,996 18,092 Funding ratio, at period-end, % 174 156 168 157 Solvency factor1) (SCR), at period-end 2.3 2.3 2.2 2.2 1) The solvency factor pertains to the capital base in relation to capital requirements in accordance with the Solvency II directive. The solvency factor is presented with a one-quarter delay. The premiums earned for the period amounted to SEK 5,981 million (5,724) in the parent company, which is 5 per cent higher than the first six months of 2017. The strong offering and the greater willingness-to-pay for insurance among customers continued to drive demand and the development of insurance policies with extended coverage combined with specific premium adjustments also contributed premium growth. The biggest premium increases occurred in the Home contents homeowners, Disability and accident, and Motor and traffic insurances. The total cost ratio in the parent company amounted to 104.2 (99.2), which was an increase of 5.0 percentage points. The claims expense ratio improved to 83.5 (84.7) per cent. The improvement was driven by improved claims outcomes, which was partially offset by an increased con- tribution to the reserve for personal injuries annuities driven by interest rate changes. This increased contribution cor- responded to an increase in the claims expense ratio by 1.8 percentage points. On the other hand, the operating expense ratio increased to 20.7 (14.5), primarily as a result of changed principles for cap- italisation of expenses, which contributed to our only having a depreciation of SEK 161 million on previously capitalised depreciation expenses for the period; however, no capitalisa- tions were done during the period. The non-recurring effect of this accounting policy change was an increase of 2.7 percent- age points in the operating expense ratio.Arefund of pension premiums in the previous year, togetherwith higher costs for development initiatives during the period, also contributed to an increase in the operating expense ratio. The underwriting result amounted to SEK -187 million (129), which is SEK 316 million lower than last year. The decline in earnings can be primarily attributed to an increase in operational expenses. Profit before appropriations and tax amounted to SEK 562 million (89) for the period. Improve- ments can be attributed to higher returns on capital. The total return ratio was 3.3 (0.5) per cent. This is main- ly due to higher returns on equity in combination with increased returns in interest-bearing securities, but also special investments as a result of higher market apprais- als of holdings. The solvency factor, which we present with a one-quarter delay, amounted to 2.3 (2.3) for the parent company. The funding ratio increased to 174 (156) per cent in the par- ent company.

  • 8. 8 Events during the period (Jan-June): • Folksam launched the new digital service “Find care pro- viders abroad” to help the customers find quality-assured doctor’s offices and at the same time reduce the costs for travel claims. • The commercial business concluded the restructuring that characterised the operations in recent years and meant that operations were concentrated to certain markets and com- panies. • The principle for capitalisation of expenses in Folksam Gen- eral has been changed. Direct and variable expenses are capitalised if existing conditions are right for capitalisation. Direct and variable expenses refers to advance commissions and flat fees that are paid to sales personnel, insurance in- termediaries or other distributors. Because Folksam General has changed the commissions for internal and external salespersons and insurance intermediaries, no capital- isation will be done from 1 January 2018.This means that forthe period of January-June 2018 operating expenses been debited SEK 161 million in depreciations related to capitalisation from the previous year. The change is rec- ognised as prospective, which means that no comparative figures have been restated. 0 150 50 168 2017 156 Jan-June 2017 174 Jan-June 2018 143 2012 149 2013 153 2014 149 2015 157 2016 Solvency ratio, %, parent company

The solvency factor is presented with a one-quarter delay. 3) Premiums comprise premiums earned in savings insurance and premiums earned in risk insurance. Premiums written for the parent company Folksam Life increased to SEK 5,493 million (5,269). The increase was due to increased sales within brokered channels and main- ly came from savings products of individual occupational pensions and individual savings insurance. Premiums within individual occupational pensions amounted to SEK 792 million. Risk products increased somewhat in premium volume. Operating expenses increased by SEK 78 million which corresponds to thirteen per cent; the increase was due to higher development costs, higher commission costs due to increased sales within brokered channels and redirec- tion of sales. The total return for the period amounted to 3.6 (2.3) per cent and contributed to the positive underwriting result. Above all, it was the higher return from equities in the second quarter that resulted in a higher total return for the period. Seen over the past five years 2013-2017, the annual average total return for Folksam Life was 7.1 per cent. The total return for the past ten-year period, 2008-2017, was 6.9 per cent per year. The solvency ratio in the parent company increased to 168 (165) per cent as of 30 June 2018. Good value trends and a positive cash flow contributed to the im- proved solvency ratio. The solvency factor for mixed com- panies, which we present with a one-quarter delay, is stable and amounted to 3.8 for the parent company. The collective funding ratio for the defined-contribution occupational pen- sion insurance amounted to 121 per cent on 30 June 2018 and 120 per cent for other life insurance business. 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 Juni-18 M ar-18 Jan-18 D ec-17 Sep-17 Juni-17 M ay-17 Feb-17 D ec-16 Sep-16 Jun-16 M ar-16 Jan-16 N ov-15 Sep-15 Jul-15 M ay-15 M ar-15 Jan-15 N ov-14 Sep-14 Jul-14 M ay-14 M ar-14 Jan-14 D ec-13 O kt-13 Sep-13 Jul-13 Bonus interest rate Old premiums New premiums Occupational pension business Other life insurance business On 30 November 2015, Folksam Life combined all occupational pension business and the business lines “occupational pension business” and “other life insurance business” were formed.
