We deliver a strong technical result of DKK 761m despite a significantly higher level of large claims. Premium growth of 4.7% in local currencies for the Group driven primarily by the Private segment but with growth in all areas.

Our retention level improves in all business areas in Denmark and Norway reflecting our strong focus on customer loyalty. This was also evidenced with a TNPS score of 66 – up more than 10% compared to same quarter previous year.

We continue to intensify our focus on digitalisation and are pleased to see that more than 100,000 customers already have used our Track & Trace solutions for private claims in Denmark.

As announced at the Capital Markets Day last year, claims prevention is a strong focus area for Tryg. As the first insurance company in the Nordic, Tryg has developed several innovative products that includes preventive initiatives.

We focus on solutions within areas that are linked to great concerns for our customers. Amongst other things we have integrated a new alarm solution in our contents insurance, motor insurance based on the drivers’ behavior and in this quarter - a rat blocker in our house insurance.
