BALANCE SHEET Brazilian Insurance Market
2012
COMMITMENT to changing society For the Brazilian insurance market, in 2012, sustainability was no longer merely an ideal but became one of the main banners driving its performance. Examples include participation in the Rio+20 Conference; the prizes for market initiatives geared towards sustainability during the second edition of the Antonio Carlos de Almeida Braga Innovation in Insurance Awards; the signing of the Principles for Sustainable Insurance (PSI), a finance initiative of the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP); incorporating the PSI parameters into the Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2009 and extended in 2012, with guidelines aligned with the PSI; a review by a special committee to monitor the adopting of these principles and propose sustainable development action plans; the holding of the 48th seminar of the International Insurance Society (IIS) and the PSI seminar “From Theory To Practice”, where CNseg reaffirmed the commitment of the Brazilian insurers to the role of driving good sustainability practices, as well as encouraging its stakeholders to engage in the conscientious consumption of insurance products. A survey carried out by CNseg, involving 92 companies that represented around 80% of the industry’s revenue, showed that 59% have a department for action relating to social responsibility and/or sustainability, 67% have a Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct and 43% have developed internal programs devoted to volunteer work. Moreover, 71% of the companies in the survey have supplier hiring policies and 63% have procedures for monitoring suppliers/service providers. Of those, 21% conduct annual inspections as part of their monitoring procedures; 18% on an annual basis and 4% on a monthly basis. Customer relations are now of strategic importance to the sustainability of the insurance industry in Brazil. The establishment of the insurance ombudsman is a clear sign of the market’s growing maturity. The Guide to Accessing the Insurance Market Ombudsmen, issued in 2012, is a tool that lends transparency to the relationship between insurers and consumers and helps in matters of reconciliation. It is a market whose total permanent investments and company net worth are equivalent to almost 13% of Brazil's GDP and that employs more than 31,000 people, thus playing a fundamental role in driving sustainable and inclusive economic growth and the development of a more humane and less unequal society. CNseg is sure that the insurance approach to sustainability is of paramount importance, both to other corporate sectors and to society as a whole. And it is aware of the need to address the matter in economic, social and environmental terms. Based on these parameters and the commitment to transforming society, CNseg has taken advantage of its position as the highest entity in the insurance market hierarchy to raise company awareness of the importance of sustainability.
The introduction of microinsurance, a tool for furthering social inclusion and an option to boost economic growth and human development, is one of the activities on the insurance market sustainability agenda. The Estou Seguro (I'm Insured) project, the second stage of which was implemented during 2012 in Rio de Janeiro’s Morro Santa Marta district, is an endeavor to foster the socio-economic inclusion of the low-income population and reduce the vulnerability of millions of families. In the Human Resources field, companies in the Brazilian insurance market are making every effort to develop a personnel management policy focused on social justice and are investing in providing training, medical and dental insurance, group life insurance, supplementary pensions, daycare, and recreation for their employees, as well as encouraging the dissemination of sustainability practices, thereby contributing to the well-being of their families, which, according to research, includes a total of 22,000 dependents. Despite feeling optimistic, one cannot afford to become complacent, because we must strive to keep up with the increasingly rapid changes that the modern world brings. We need to push the boundaries further, communicating our values to more people and creating more opportunities for development. However, we can be sure that the commitment to transform the society in which we live is present in everything that CNseg does. Helping to build a more just and sustainable society is part of our planning for the short, medium and long term.

Estou Seguro TRUCKER Driver Game December 2012, in a new initiative to promote financial education for the population, saw the launching of the Estou Seguro Truck Driver Game electronic game, developed in partnership with Guanabara Games. With this activity, CNseg bet on the attraction that games hold for children and adolescents, in order to disseminate the insurance culture. The aim is to build awareness among children and adolescents about the importance of day-to-day risk management, through an enjoyable educational experience regarding insurance. Two interactive totems were installed in the Insurance House — a space created for insurance market interaction with the residents of Morro Santa Marta, who are able to use the totems free of charge. Children and adolescents are able to participate in championships organized by the I’m Insured project team and compete for attractive prizes. What is more, the game is distributed on flash drives for installation on personal computers and will soon be available on the Internet for widespread access.
Microinsurance is a tool for social inclusion and an option for promoting economic growth and human development.

the guidelines of the charter, implementing a series of measures to modernize its management and make it more professional. The first step in the adoption of the new governance model came with the transformation of the Board of Directors into a Steering Committee, as suggested in the charter. The Steering Committee determined the functions of the Executive Board, which now has under its responsibility the tasks set by the chairman and supervision of the organization’s activities at the institutional, technical and operational levels. The new structure led to greater interaction between the jobs, activities and interests of the four federations — FenSeg, FenaPrevi, FenaSaúde and FenaCap — and CNseg. At the same time, it established the Services and Insurance Protection Center (Ceser), which reports to the Steering Committee and whose decision making functions regarding strategic issues and business guidance are the responsibility of the Board of Directors.

strength within the daily business of the Brazilian insurance market, according to the second edition of a survey conducted by CNseg to gauge the internal efforts of companies that are focused on social responsibility and sustainability. Among the 92 companies surveyed — which account for roughly 80% of the annual revenue of the insurance sctor — 67% said they have a Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct that guides their operations, ensures the commitment to sustainability and establishes guidelines for the selection of suppliers and partners.
The Code of Ethics issued by CNseg aims to bring about closer relations with the consumer of insurance and with society in general, with transparency a top priority in this relationship.

Training PROFESSIONALS for the market The growth of the Brazilian economy in recent years has made even more evident a shortcoming that was perceived some time ago by Brazilian business: the lack of qualified professionals. The insurance sector, whose performance has been even stronger than that of the GDP index, also has a shortage of qualified personnel, especially in the area of insurance customer care. And this demand will grow further with the approach of major events like the World Cup and the Olympic Games, which increase the demand for training courses for brokers operating in the completion guarantee segment, one of the most targeted areas, and many others that will arise in the wake of the investment in infrastructure. Another factor that is driving this demand is the sale of microinsurance products, which was recently regulated by Susep. The National School of Insurance is the only Brazilian institution that offers an insurance broker qualification course, which takes about nine months and consists of three phases: to operate only in capitalization; in capitalization, life insurance and private pensions; and in capitalization, life insurance, private pensions and general insurance. The school also offers specific courses for the training of microinsurance brokers. At the end of the program, if the student is approved, the school awards a certificate that enables him or her to obtain Susep professional registration — a legal requirement for professional practice. In 2012, there were nearly 15,000 enrollments in the insurance broker qualification program, the institution’s main course.

The results of the second edition of a survey by CNseg to gauge the internal efforts of companies that focus on these two topics show that this is a trend that has already been established. The study involved the participation of 92 companies/ groups that account for roughly 80% of the sector’s revenue, although not everyone answered all wthe questions. The survey covered companies of various sizes: 67% of them were large, 18% medium-sized and 15% small. For the vast majority (96%), ownership is in private hands, compared to just 4% whose shares are listed at the stock exchange.

Assurant Solutions Brasil The company has developed a variety of social responsibility projects of national and international scope. One of 2012’s highlights the collaborative activity and partnership with the institution, Make-A-Wish® Brasil, which helps to make dreams come true for children suffering from various, serious illnesses, such as cancer and leukemia, among other diseases. The project takes place, simultaneously, all over the world. In Brazil, this activity was carried out with the support of groups of volunteers, all of whom were AssurantSolutions Brasil employees. Altogether, ten children were served and each had a unique story and a very specific wish. José Kaike Joseph, age 8, from Santo André in the ABC region of São Paulo, dreamed of owning a red, 16” rim, cyclo-cross bicycle. Karolina, age 13, from the Grajaú neighborhood in São Paulo, wanted a computer. Alam, age 14, of the Itaim Paulista district of São Paulo, dreamed of having an accordion and meeting Brazilian folk singer and presenter, Inezita Barroso. Guilherme, aged 10 and a music student from Fernandópolis, São Paulo, had dreamed of having an oboe. Other young people whose dreams were made real received laptops, trips abroad, a walk in Parque Beto Carrero, a visit to the planetarium and even a telescope for stargazing. With headquarters located in São Paulo and a unit in
the city of Campinas, Make-A-Wish® Brasil is one of 37 affiliates of the Make-A-Wish Foundation® International, one of most well-known and wellrespected children’s support institutions in the world, currently serves children in nearly 50 countries. Founded in Brazil in October 2008 and certified by the São Paulo Municipal Council for Children and Adolescent Rights (CMDCA), the organization has made the dreams of over 500 young people come true. Another project supported by AssurantSolutions Brasil was a clothing and toy drive, along with making investments to improve institutional structures. These donations were directed toward the NGO CEPAC — Associação para Proteção das Crianças e Adolescentes (Association for the Protection of Children and Adolescents), Asilo Grupo Vida Brasil (Group Life Brazil, a group home) and the Anibal de França Nursery, which, in total, provide assistance to 180 children and 70 seniors.

The 67 individuals who adopted the proposed eating habits of Vigilantes do Peso collectively lost 235 kg in nine months, with several having reduced their weight by more than 20 kg.

Icatu Seguros Icatu Seguros practices and supports activities for sustainability and social responsibility through a variety of initiatives. In the field of Education and Professionalization, since 2011, the company has been one of the sponsors, in Porto Alegre, of a free preparatory course for the college entrance, Emancipa, whose focus is on preparation for the High School National Exam (ENEM), which is intended for public high school school students who are in their final year or who have graduated.
In sports, since 2009, Icatu has been offering its support to projects of the Instituto Bola pra Frente (Eye on the Ball Institute), such as Craque de Bola e Escola (Star Player and Student), Centro de Capacitação Toque de Mestre II (Master Touch Training Center II) and the Programa Esporte em Ação (Sports in Action Program). Since 2011, the company has also been making investments in young sailing athletes through the Projeto Bons Ventos (Fair Winds Project), which is designed to prepare them for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
Since 2007, the company has also been sponsoring the Fundação Pró-Saber, assisting in the support of its daycare facility located in São Paulo’s Paraisópolis slum neighborhood. Since 2008, Icatu has also been supporting several other initiatives, including Projeto Constelação (Project Constellation), which invests in the training of hundreds of young people and their families who reside in communities on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro; the Projeto Social da Mangueira (Mangueira Social Project), which contributes to the education of children and young people; and the Menor Aprendiz (Young Apprentice) program, which, for more than ten years, has been offering dozens of underprivileged youths the opportunity for their first job, in Icatu Insurance.
Icatu’s sports portfolio includes, in the city of Belo Horizonte, support for the Projeto de Formação de Atletas do Minas Tênis Clube (Athletes Training Project of the Minas Tennis Club). Support is also being provided to the Projeto Grael do Instituto Rumo Náutico (The Grael Project), which offers students opportunities for education and social interaction through a sailing experience. Icatu is a partner of the Ronald McDonald Institute, a nonprofit corporation that provides support for the treatment of children and adolescents with cancer. Since 2006, over R$ 2 million have been donated to the institute by setting aside a portion of the sales of Icatu’s Troco Premiado, Doação Premiada and Boa Ação, Boa Sorte products, since 2006. The

company also supports institute-sponsored events, such as the children’s race against cancer and the charity golf tournament. Since 2008, Icatu Seguros has been making donations to Operação Sorriso (Operation Smile), an NGO recognized by the U.N., which performs free surgical operations to correct cleft lip and cleft palate in children and adolescents from poor communities. The company also continues to support Doctors Without Borders, whose centers offer treatment
to children suffering from malnutrition, mass vaccination campaigns, the distribution of relief items, as well as providing medical and psychological care through mobile clinics and in several refugee camps around the world. In the environmental arena, Icatu donates the recyclable waste items it generates to the wastepickers of the Associação Rio Coop (a cooperative of selective collection and recycling wastepickers). Annually, this initiative collects an average of 80 tons of reusable materials.
As regards cultural initiatives, Icatu sponsored Bethânia e as Palavras and Carta de Amor, performance tours of renowned Brazilian singer Maria Bethânia; the Tantas Marés tour of singer, guitarist, and composer Edu Lobo and backing band, Aquarius; as well as the tours of singer/songwriter Joyce Moreno (commonly known as “Joyce”) and legendary jazz/bossa nova pianist, João Donato. The company also sponsored publication of nuclear physicist Alejandro Szanto de Toledo’s book Face a Face (Face to Face), featuring the photographic portraits of the many peoples and ethnicities he encountered in over three decades of travel around the world.

Icatu encourages its employees to participate in voluntary initiatives, such as Christmas campaigns organized by several institutions, including Obra do Berço in the Lagoa neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro; Jardim Gramacho in the city of Duque de Caxias, Rio de Janeiro; Lar Santa Catarina in the city of Petrópolis; as well as Natal dos Correios; Campanha do Agasalho (Instituto da Criança); and Volta às Aulas (Instituição Béu Machado), among others.

Initiatives help reduce impacts on wildlife and reduce paper consumption With the support of the company’s Marketing and Procurement divisions, the board of executive officers of the Canal concessionaire distributed Sustainability Kits for automotive products, which included a pamphlet, 24-hour assistance card, an envelope and a “seed card.” As a result of this activity, the company will cease to consume approximately 52 tons of paper a year. The company also began a restructuring process to implement selective waste collection at its headquarters offices in the city of São Paulo. Liberty was also an active participant of the Sustainability Committee of the Brazilian Insurance Confederation (CNseg) and working groups of the Principles for Sustainable Insurance (PSI).
Pilot project aims to create a safer transit from home to work In December 2012, the company launched, in São Paulo, a pilot project advocating Safety and Responsibility in Urban Mobility — Sinal Livre — Andar com responsabilidade é andar seguro (Green Light: Traveling Responsibly is Traveling Safely). The goal is to improve the safety of Brazilian commuters, to and from work, as well as promote tourism and attendance at Confederations Cup (2013) and World Cup (2014) games being staged throughout Brazil. The main pillars of the project are to sensitize, engage and educate society to adopt more responsible and safety-conscious conduct and behaviors while in transit — either as a drivers, pedestrians, cyclists,
Liberty has also promoted events to raise awareness among young people, including one that featured the participation of 123 students, ages 15-18, from public schools located in the vicinity of the stadium where the opening match of the 2014 World Cup will take place.

Mapfre also invests in raising the awareness of its customers, emphasizing the importance of financial education through consultations and lectures directed to companies and employee groups. In 2012, twelve such activities took place. In line with international social responsibility principles, Mapfre invests in the development of responsible practices throughout its value chain. It also engages in the rigorous selection and contracting of suppliers, promoting sustainable development values and best environmental management practices. In selecting new suppliers the company analyzes criteria such as whether potential suppliers and subcontractors use or support the use of child and/or forced labor. For the sixth consecutive year, Mapfre published its Sustainability Report (GRI A+ Level), which came in first place in the ABRASCA (Brazilian Association of Publicly-Held Companies) Awards for Best Annual Report – Private Firms category.

Organic waste generated in the company is sent to landfills, while recyclable materials are sent for recycling through social projects and cooperatives, which separate and sell the materials to industry, with a view to generating employment and income, inclusion and social transformation. In 2012, 30 tons of paper, 5 tons of cardboard and 14 tons of plastics were recycled. Last year, the company joined the Brazil GHG Protocol Program, a tool used worldwide by companies and governments to comprehend, quantify and manage their greenhouse gas emissions. Porto Seguro’s emissions were disclosed in the Public Register of GHG Emissions (http://www.registropublicodeemissoes.com.br/). Social projects were also augmented during the year. The Volunteer Group recorded 1,794 voluntary participations in 62 specific activities, such as educational talks, donations, and recreational and quality of life programs, which benefited 75,705 people in social organizations throughout Brazil. Donations of clothes and shoes, toys, school supplies, toiletries and food amounted to 105,601 items.
The work of the Casa Campos Elísios Melhor training center was once again a highlight, promoting employment and income generation for the low-income segment in the city of São Paulo, through professional training and skill building, as well as promoting access to education and citizenship. Last year, there were roughly 5,000 contacts, through socio-economic interviews, events, courses and workshops for children. The project serves 129 children and adolescents between the ages of 6 and 15 who live in the neighborhood of Campos Elísios.

distribution of child seats that avoid children getting hurt while being carried by bicycle. This was carried out as part of the Detran-AC (Acre State Traffic Department) educational campaign Tá na faixa, tá Seguro (If You’re In The Lane, You’re Safe), which also involved building awareness and respect for traffic rules by cyclists. Around 500 children of the state capital of Rio Branco were benefited. Another educational activity to raise awareness among the population about traffic risks was carried out in the city of Rio de Janeiro, during the famous carnival. This was a partnership with the local authorities — represented by the state health and civil defense departments, the fire brigade and the municipal civil defense department — and the Rio de Janeiro Trauma Group Association. This action was an initiative of the SBOT (Brazilian Society of Orthopaedics and Traumatology) and Soterj (Society of Orthopaedics and Traumatology of the State of Rio de Janeiro).
Also on the insurance company’s agenda during the year was support for the World Day of Remembrance for Road Accident Victims activities in the Morro do Alemão slum, in Rio de Janeiro. This event resulted from a partnership with Detran-RJ (Rio de Janeiro State Traffic Department), took place on November 18th, at the Morro do Adeus cable car station, and involved the state government and various religious organizations and civil society representatives. Similar activities — aimed at providing education, culture and citizenship for citizens — were carried out that same day in Parque da Juventude, in the São Paulo state capital, at the initiative of the NGO Trânsito Amigo. Seguradora Líder DPVAT sponsored the Segurança Viária e Veicular (Road and Vehicle Safety) project in a number of Brazilian cities. The project was developed by the Observatório Nacional de Segurança Viária e Veicular (National Road and Vehicle Safety Observatory), whose goal is to promote studies, research, educational activities and innovative technologal initiatives, the dissemination of road safety information, and quality of life and citizenship in traffic.

Sindseg RS Various solidarity actions were part of the work agenda of the Trade Union of Insurance Companies of Rio Grande do Sul throughout the year. One of the highlights was the participation, already a tradition in the history of the entity, in the Winter Clothing Drive, which brought in around 500 garments, blankets, and shoes. All donations were sent to the Francisco de Assis Spiritist Society and Confrasol – the Insurance Market Solidarity Brotherhood, created in 2011. The drive had the participation of Agensel (Insurance Agency Ltd.), AgroBrasil (Farm Insurance Operator), Capemisa Life Insurance and Pension, Clube da Pedrinha, GBOEX, Mongeral Aegon Insurance and Pension, and Bing, Muller & Moreira Corporate Attorneys.
Book donation and action to help in the reconstruction of a city destroyed by a storm In April, the entity promoted the campaign entitled “A Used Book is New for One who Hasn’t Read It”, which brings in books for donation, in commemoration of World Children’s Book Day (04/02) and World Book Day (04/23). The objective is to stimulate the habit of reading among the population. The activity had the support of Investrev Insurance and Pension, GBOEX, and Celso Michaelsen. Children’s books, juvenile books, fiction, and comic books were donated to children of needy communities to help in character-building, as well as to promote citizenship by means of motivation through reading. A portion of the more than 250 donated books were delivered to the Cirandar NPO, and the rest will become part of the Book Club collection.
The insurance company also promotes an activity to help in the reconstruction of the city of Santa Bรกrbara do Sul, partially destroyed by a storm with winds of over 100 km per hour, which tore the roofs off of hundreds of homes and completely destroyed dozens more on July 28.
The donations brought in blankets, mattresses, items of personal hygiene, and non-perishable food items, which were delivered directly to the Civil Defense of the town and to the Donations Center of the capital, at Av. Borges de Medeiros, 1501. Donations were also made in cash to a fund for those who lost their homes, through an account at Banrisul.

Swiss Re Corporate Solutions Brasil Seguros The Swiss Re Foundation has partnered with Habitat for Humanity in Brazil for the Women Rebuilding Lives Project, which aims to ensure better living conditions for women in the city of Feira Nova, Pernambuco. Primarily heads of households, these women live in circumstances of extreme poverty and precarious conditions, making journeys of over 12 hours to work as peelers in flour factories that pay them R$ 25.00 per ton of peeled cassava. Their monthly income is approximately R$ 240 – much of which goes toward the payment of rental housing. The difficulties these women face lead them to relocate frequently, preventing the formation of community ties and support networks, which negatively impacts the development of their children.
Activities raise women’s incomes and empower community organizing This project provides these families with adequate housing, in appropriate places to live and study. Besides the construction of houses, activities assist in the incremental improvement in the incomes these women receive and the strengthening of community organizing. The project aims to help 100 families; 56 houses are currently near completion. Among this project’s partners are: Caixa Econômica Federal, the Brazilian Ministry of Cities, the State Company for Housing, the City of Feira Nova, the Women’s Center of Vitória, the Women’s Center of Feira Nova, the Federation of Organizations for Social and Educational Assistance (FASE) and Swiss Re.
The Swiss Re Foundation (www.swissrefoundation. org), created to strategically coordinate the global philanthropic efforts of Swiss Re, is comprised of a group of individuals who select projects, oversee their activities and gather information about their progress.

DEVELOPMENT Figures that emphasize the sector’s fundamental role, payments to society, the capital structure and the investment in personnel management.
Figures showing the insurance market’s DECISIVE role in the country’s socio-economic success The insurance industry and the economy of any country coexist as two pillars of society — each helps to further the development of the other. Brazil is no different: insurance plays an important role in the country’s economy, as it contributes towards the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and helps to generate income for the population. The premiums paid by policyholders are invested by the companies, in order to guarantee the payment of compensation, redemptions and benefits. To honor those payments, the insurance, supplementary pension and capitalization companies hold mandatory reserves, comprising securities and other assets of various kinds, which help to ensure the smooth functioning of the economy. The figures speak for themselves: last year, the sum of the short-term financial investments and permanent investments (including technical provisions) and net worth of the companies in the sector amounted to R$ 585.9 billion, equivalent to nearly 13% of Brazil's GDP. The total premiums received came to R$ 221.7 billion.
155
And amount paid out by the sector in various forms of compensation (property damage and life insurance, family income, health cover, private pension plans and savings bonds redeemed or drawn) amounted to R$ 117 billion. These figures — referring only to CNseg associated companies, which represent about 80% of the sector's revenue — help to show the importance of insurance activity in identifying and managing environmental risk, protecting lives and assets and ensuring a better quality of life for the consumer.
INSURANCE payments to Society More than R$ 117 billion was paid to Brazilian society during the year by the companies representing the national insurance sector. In a year marked by a slowdown in the Brazilian economy and falling interest base rates, the rate of expansion of the country’s insurance sector exceeded all expectations and drew attention to the outstanding ability within the sector to generate domestic savings. The total funds paid out by all the companies in the market during 2012, was equivalent to almost 53% of the gross revenue accrued over the course of the year, which was R$ 221.68 billion. The participation of the insurance, pension, health and capitalization segments in the reserves for covering insured assets
chapter

reached R$ 420.1 billion — an increase of almost 23% over the R$ 341.3 billion of the previous year.
Growth That the insurance market has been growing faster than the Brazilian economy is something that has been noted for some years now and is particularly due to the following factors: suppressed demand in the sector, real gains in wages, declining unemployment and greater consumer awareness of the protection offered by insurance products, open supplementary pension plans, supplementary health insurance and capitalization, as well as the control over inflation and currency stability that have been seen since the Real Plan was introduced. With an aggregate total R$ 123 billion in net revenue, the general insurance segment showed the strongest performance during the year — this was 23.5% higher than that recorded in 2011. The growth in the open supplementary pension segment was 9.9% and that of the supplementary health and capitalization segments was 17.7%. In 2012, there were 216 companies operating in the Brazilian insurance market, 93 covering damages, 31 covering health, 26 providing life insurance and pensions, 47 offering open supplementary pension plans and 19 in the capitalization segment.

Family INCOME and assets The general insurance segment, which is the largest in the Brazilian market, disbursed almost R$ 58.9 billion during 2012 in payments related to asset, household income and health protection compensation. The funds allocated to compensating asset losses, such as vehicle and building write-offs, among other items, give an idea of the importance of insurance in the transferring of values to society: they amounted to R$ 22.3 billion, 10% more than the amount paid out in the previous year. The amount paid in relation to health protection came to R$ 30.6 billion. The total paid out to society by the open supplementary pensions segment, in terms of benefits, redemptions and earnings, was over R$ 25.2 billion, an increase of 13% compared to the previous year. But it was the capitalization segment which contributed the most in 2012, with R$ 32.9 billion paid out in prize draws, the redemption of bonds and interest on savings. The payment to society by this segment was 17% higher than in the previous year.

At the end of 2012, the reserves of the CNseg associated companies, which cover their future obligations, totaled R$ 281.7 billion — 28% more than at the end of the previous year. The accumulated reserves of the open supplementary pension plans grew by 13%, to R$ 115.9 billion, while the savings bond capitalization reserves amounted to R$ 22.5 billion. The technical provisions made during the 12 months of the year, to guarantee payment of compensation, benefits and redemptions, totaled R$ 420.1 billion, 23% more than in the previous year.

Obligatory DPVAT Insurance transfers Half of the funds obtained from the DPVAT insurance premiums, which provide third party cover to road accident victims, is passed on to the federal government, through transfers that are mandated by law, which also determines that they be allocated to two different bodies: the National Health System (SUS) and the National Traffic Department (Denatran). The SUS receives 45% of the amount collected, under Laws no 8,212/91 and 9,503/97, to cover the hospital care of the victims of road accidents. And Denatran gets 5%, to use in road safety education campaigns. The transfers in 2012 amounted to R$ 3.5 billion, with R$ 3.2 billion going to the SUS and R$ 357.2 million to Denatran. The revenue obtained from DPVAT payments in 2012 exceeded the

Asset structure The short-term financial investments made by the insurance sector in 2012 amounted to R$ 436 billion — 22% more than the 2011 total of R$ 356.6 billion. Permanent investments, meanwhile, came to R$ 38.8 billion and operational working capital was R$ 16.6 billion. These resources are fundamental to establishing the technical reserves, which represented Brazilian domestic savings of R$ 408 billion, excluding deferred commercial expenses. Investments in property and rights in 2012 were around R$ 491.4 billion, compared to R$ 405.2 billion in the previous year. And reflecting, once again, the strength of the insurance sector, the combined net worth of the companies totaled R$ 82.8 billion. Such funds (assets and rights | commitments and liabilities) are established through insurance company investments in assets that are acceptable to the government to cover the compensation payment commitments made to policyholders.

The proportion of those over the age of 56 is 3%. Women predominate in the three youngest groups, while men are more numerous in both of the older groups. The companies in the general insurance, health insurance, supplementary pensions and capitalization segments that took part in the survey account for roughly 80% of the revenue in the Brazilian insurance market.

Education Taking into consideration the consolidated data from all the market segments — general insurance, health insurance, pensions and capitalization — more female employees (1,625) have a master's, doctoral or post-doctoral degree than male employees (1,544). The men are only in the majority at this educational level in the supplementary pension and capitalization segments. When the comparison is extended to higher education in general, or secondary education, whether complete or incomplete, women have a higher level of education than men in all the segments.

The number of appointments with psychologists registered the greatest increase (33.4%), followed by psychiatry (12.7%) and occupational therapy (1.7%).
Sources and Uses of Funds The revenue of the private health plans — for beneficiaries of FenaSaúde affiliates — in the first nine months of 2012 was R$ 27.6 billion, representing 39% of all the supplementary health market revenue during the period. Of that total, R$ 26.7 billion covered the various expenses of the operators (healthcare, administrative, marketing and taxes) and R$ 932 million comprised the operating results of the affiliates — 3.4% of the revenue. The funds allocated to covering expenditure - equivalent to 96.6% of the revenue - were used as follows: ▪ R$ 22.6 billion (81.8% of revenue) for the cost of healthcare expenses, to pay for the professional services and to the health establishments; ▪ R$ 4.2 billion (14.9% of revenue) for the other expenses incurred by the operators (administrative, marketing and taxes).

Healthcare spending consumed 81.8% of the revenue, which means that for every R$ 100 received in the form of monthly payments on the plans, nearly R$ 81.80 went towards defraying the expenses of the beneficiaries for the provision of medical and dental care. The other expenses consumed R$ 14.90 of every R$ 100 received. The difference between revenue and expenses was the operating result of the operators (R$ 932 million), funds that provide a return to the investors and finance future investments. It should be pointed out that for every R$ 100 received, only R$ 3.40 went to remunerate the investors.

The effort to get closer to the consumer included the launching of the Key Points of Capitalization, a set of booklets that explain the types of products sold and their main characteristics. The publication was launched in 2012, at the 3rd Consumer Conference, which celebrated the 21st anniversary of the introduction of the Brazilian Consumer Protection Code. In another initiative, the organization overhauled its website, which now provides a comprehensive and detailed set of questions and answers to assist those seeking to understand the rules that govern the sector and the rights and obligations of the savings bond companies and consumers.
