R+V Versicherung AG has reported substantial growth for the 2025 business year, marking a successful first year under its new corporate strategy, NextLevel. The cooperative insurance group saw its total premium income increase by 8.6% to approximately 22.8 billion euros.
The company's German primary insurance business outperformed the market, with premium income growing by 9.3% to 17.5 billion euros. CEO Norbert Rollinger highlighted that this growth was achieved despite ongoing global challenges and a weak German economy. He attributed the success to the strong performance of R+V employees and distribution partners.
In the life and pension insurance sector, R+V experienced a notable surge, with premium income climbing 12.1% to 8.5 billion euros, nearly double the industry average growth of 6.7%. This increase was supported by factors such as rising incomes, decreased inflation, and positive real interest rates making long-term investments more attractive.
R+V anticipates continued growth in 2026 across all segments. However, Rollinger also emphasized the need for political reforms and a reduction in bureaucracy to improve the business environment in Germany. The company aims to leverage its partnerships within the cooperative financial group to further its strategic objectives.
