Comments by LocalTapiola Life CEO Minna Kohmo:

"For us, the year 2017 was good. For the first time, ourpremiums written increased to over half a billion euros. The growth in premium income was strong. Premium income increased by 22.4 per cent to EUR 516 million. Our result was at a good level.

The sales were good in all our lines of insurance, but the development in savings insurances was especially strong.

Our operations are centred around improving the lifelong security of our customers. One part of lifelong security is finan-cial self-sufficiency. Last spring, we launched an entirely new type of asset management concept. It provides all our cus-tomers with the investment instruments and benefits of a large investor. The solution involves investing our customers' assets in the same instruments as the investments made by LocalTapiola Life. Customers have welcomed the revamp, as demonstrated by strong demand.

We help our customers adopt a healthier lifestyle. We added new well-being services to our highly popular Smart Life Insurance."
