Added Value
What is the value created for our investors?
Sustained value enhancement
In the roughly 12 years since going public we have been able to bring about a sustained enhancement in the appeal of the Hannover Re share - an appeal further underscored by our successful business development. With the exception of the years 2001 (losses associated with the World Trade Center event) and 2005 (losses caused by hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma in the United States), we have increased the dividend every year since 1994. The company's market capitalisation has more than quadrupled since it was first launched on the stock exchange.
Performance better than the industry average
Our good results have been rewarded with gratifying development of the Hannover Re share over the long term.
We use the "ABN Amro Global Reinsurance Index" to measure the performance of our share. This index reflects the growth in value of all listed reinsurance stocks worldwide. Our strategic objective is to achieve a share performance that surpasses the development of the Global Reinsurance Index over a three-year moving average.
