€59.1 million in investment commissions

Placement commissions are up +8%

over one year, in connection with commercial inflows, and increased in all sectors: +1% in “Life insurance”, +63% in “Securities”, +45% for “Corporate” and +6% for “Real Estate” (+8% in Direct Real Estate and +5% in SCPI).


€78.8 million in commissions on outstandings

Commissions on outstandings fell -9% over the period, impacted by the fall in the financial markets and its consequences on assets under administration in Unit-Linked units.

Net collection
[3]
is positive at September 30, 2022, at +€119m

(compared to -€4m as of September 30, 2021), due to the momentum of commercial inflows combined with a continued decline in redemptions and redemptions of term funds.

Assets under administration at the end of the period amounted to €12 billion

down -6% compared to September 30, 2021, impacted by negative price variations.


-€3.9 million in net interest losses and miscellaneous

The fall in the financial markets in 1

er

half of 2022 impacted the own portfolio of bond UCIs historically accounted for at fair value through profit or loss. From 3

th

quarter of 2022, UFF’s cash is mainly invested on sight, and the balance in a closed-end fund recognized at historical cost, allowing a return to a slightly positive financial result as of the 3rd

th

quarter (+€0.2 million).


Outlook

With a good commercial momentum which continues and is reflected in the favorable development of investment commissions (+8% over the first 9 months of 2022), NBI was nevertheless down by ?6% at the end of September 2022 compared to end of September 2021 in an unfavorable market environment impacting commissions on outstandings and the financial result.

At 3

th

quarter, the UFF deploys its Roadmap defined on the 1

er

semester, defining the 5 major objectives by 2023, and aiming to put the company in motion through a tight organization around 6 major poles – Development, Network, Operations, Human Resources, Regal and Communication & Engagement – and to respond to the immediate challenges and then prepare the next strategic plan, in conjunction with that of Aéma Groupe, the new reference shareholder.

In this context, investment in the commercial network remains UFF’s priority, with the pursuit of a dynamic recruitment of new commercial talents and the improvement of the process of integrating new employees, in a recruitment environment tense.
