Summary of the annual report of Anker Verzekeringen n.v. for 2014 Anker is a small-scale insurance company having a custom-based approach and target group policy, and is in particular known as a legal expenses insurer and insurer of crew members on sea-going vessels. FOREWORD Anker looks back positively on 2014. We have been able to strengthen our market position and to achieve a good financial result by realising changes from an increasingly more solid foundation. Foundation The financial sector finds itself emerged in a transition process. Insurance companies are looking for and working on achieving a new balance. Anker has found that new balance. Insurance solutions are being developed in close cooperation with participants in the market. By placing focus, a firm basis with an ever-expanding scope will be created. At the same time financial principles are secured and strengthened, and Anker is working continuously on the further development of the organisation. Continuous change In the last year Anker has worked hard. (Changing) laws and regulations require much attention, but development paths and action plans are also given top priority. In addition and at the same time, Anker makes a great effort to initiate and expand partnerships. Together with these partners growth scenarios are developed and realised. Looking ahead The economic crises seems to be bottomed out. Gradually, we can see that clients and partners are confident that the economy is recovering. The economic activities of our business customers are growing and as a result also the demand for covering risks is increasing. However, this does not alter the fact that the recovery is slow and that the economic developments are fragile and fickle. In 2015 Anker will steadily stay the course. Building new sustainable partnerships and working on a reciprocal basis. Fair and square. We would like to thank our customers and partners for their trust in Anker. And we wish to thank our colleagues in and Amsterdam, the Works Council and the Supervisory Board for their dedication, and their pleasant and constructive cooperation.
