UK Bancassurance: Bank Distribution of Long-term Investments 2011

Datamonitor's FSCI 2011 survey reveals that 37% of mass affluent pension holders utilized a workplace representative to open their pension scheme. Banks were not a channel commonly used by mass affluent consumers when opening a pension, with only 4% having doing so.

Banks suffer from a lack of conversion from the point of a discussion between a bank advisor and a customer through to the purchase of a long-term investment product. However, there is an opportunity for bank advisors to develop their relationship beyond the bank branch and into the workplace.

Features and benefits
• Plan your strategy effectively by having primary consumer insight to consumer attitudes towards using banks when seeking financial advice.
• Identify viable alternative channels to distribute long-term investment products.
• Access comprehensive analysis and strategic action points for the UK bancassurance market to drive new business.

OVERVIEW
Catalyst
Summary
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Bancassurance is not a dominant channel for the distribution of long-term investment products
There is an increased regulatory focus on the sector but it will provide a competitive advantage in the long-term
For products such as pensions, consumers rely on workplace representatives and disregard bancassurers
However, consumers have future intentions to use their primary banks to seek financial advice
There is no single model for bancassurance, which ranges from a pure distribution agreement to a wholly owned subsidiary of the bank
A winning bancassurance formula hinges on essential operational components, customer-centric approaches, and effective cross-selling
MARKET CONTEXT
Introduction
Bancassurance sales of pensions and investment bonds have fallen drastically over the past five years
Bancassurers have lost market share in the UK pensions market from the 2007 peak
Bancassurers have seen increasing sales of personal pension products over other types of pensions
Bancassurers have maintained their market share over the past five years in the distribution of investment bonds
Unit trusts and open-ended investment companies form the basis for banks' regular savings and investment products
The increased regulatory focus will be a short-term challenge but potentially a long-term source of competitive advantage
The RDR will change the size and shape of the UK bancassurance market going forward
The RDR is likely to create a reduction in the overall supply of investment advice
Bancassurers will look away from capital-intensive product lines as a result of challenges from Basel III and Solvency II
The impact of capital strain on banks may mean that insurance products will get higher priority over long-term investment vehicles
There is a need for banks to rebalance towards non-capital and non-risk bearing products
Solvency II will introduce consistent capital requirement measures
Basel III will lead to banks reassessing their insurance assets
Forecast sales through bancassurance show that the channel will maintain market share over the next five years
Bancassurers will not be able to gain market share away from IFAs in the distribution of pensions over the next five years
The sale of investment bonds will continue to be firmly focused through the IFA channel


CONSUMER ATTITUDES TO PENSIONS AND BANK ADVICE

STRATEGIC ACTION POINTS
Introduction
Workplace marketing offers lucrative potential for banks to target mass affluent consumers in distributing long-term investment products
The workplace can facilitate consumers’ search for more financial information, away from traditional avenues
Bancassurers have a ready pool of mass affluent clients in the "advice vacuum" left by IFAs shifting their focus upmarket due to the RDR
Workplace pensions reform will place greater emphasis on the importance of the workplace in providing financial advice and services
However, banks must target the right industries and consider the level of access they are able to achieve within each company for the distribution of long-term investment products
Offering a total-product suite in the workplace will give banks further cross-selling opportunities
Bancassurers have key areas where particular differentiation can be achieved for consumers
Banks must focus on building emotional ties with customers instead of marketing themselves purely on a commodity basis
Building customer relationships will offset the consumer mistrust created during the recession
Banks should look towards simplifying the purchasing process and improving the buying experience
A winning bancassurance model requires banks and insurers to assess key components of the operation
Risk appetite assessment must be undertaken by banks when determining a bancassurance model
The attitudes towards classes of business that banks should manufacture or distribute must be considered
Competitive advantage and differentiation must be established especially in distribution-only models
The desired level of profitability on the capital employed must be assessed to ascertain whether bancassurance should be adopted at all
Capital requirements will have a major impact on the chosen bancassurance model
Third-party product providers also need to be aware that distribution channels cannot be viewed independently of each other
Bancassurers must take advantage of cross-selling opportunities within their existing customer base
Banks should use their ability to cross-sell within branches as an opportunity to increase revenue
Careful segmentation is a necessity to target insurance cross-sales
Banks should also facilitate customer cross-buying and not just focus on cross-selling
Bancassurers have three options to address the problems posed by capital constraints through regulation
Banks may take the opportunity to reassess the option of divesting their insurance operations
Group capital structures can be enhanced and risk management undertaken to address regulatory proposals
Banks may undertake product rationalization and move to less capital-intensive distribution models

Global Markets and Technologies for Bioplastics -- Focus on Europe

The focus of this report is on plastics made from renewable resources such as biomass or food crops.  There is even some potential development of bioplastics from animal resources.  Plastics that may be potentially made from waste carbon dioxide are reviewed because of their potential impact on bioplastics, but their data is not included in the forecasts presented here.  Bioplastics are further defined here as polymer materials that are produced by synthesizing—chemically or biologically—materials that contain renewable organic materials.  Natural organic materials that are not chemically modified (e.g., wood composites) are excluded.

The report includes the use of renewable resources to create monomers that replace petroleum-based monomers, such as feedstocks made from sugarcane that are used to manufacture polyester and polyethylene.  Ethanol, a major product in Brazil, is one small chemical step from ethylene.

The rapid emergence of bioplastics is one of the major materials stories in recent years.  Once billed as biodegradable plastics, the theme for renewably sourced plastics has shifted dramatically in recent years to sustainability.  To maximize market impact, the growing trend is to compound biobased plastics with oil-based plastics to extend their reach into markets for durable products used in cars and cell phones, among other applications.  The focus has shifted away from contribution to the solid waste stream and toward total carbon footprint.

Global Markets, Technologies and Materials for Thin and Ultrathin Films

The global market for thin film technologies (including equipment, materials and services) is currently valued at more than $50 billion and continues to grow. On-going miniaturization in the semiconductor industry also impacts other sectors. As a result, there is a continuous effort to create components and products that are smaller, thinner, lighter and also, for certain applications, flexible. In addition, new developments in nanotechnology are also contributing to advances in materials and fabrication methods for producing very thin films, that is, those films below 30 nanometers or those with a thickness measured in atoms.

There are various types of thin film materials (e.g., metals, alloys, oxides, non-oxides, metalorganics and metal salts). These materials can be deposited by a variety of physical or chemical methods, and they find application in the fabrication process of numerous devices within several industrial sectors (including electronics, optoelectronics, mechanical/chemical, energy, optical coatings, life science and decorative coatings).

At the time of BCC’s last report (2004), the global market for thin film materials was valued at $7.1 billion and growing at a fairly rapid pace. Since then, the industry has continued to evolve in important ways. In addition, at the end of 2007, growth in the global economy began to slow dramatically along with many sectors in which these materials are used, leading to a steep drop in sales during the ensuing two years.

• The global market for thin film materials increased from $6.9 billion in 2009 to nearly $8.4 billion in 2010 and it is estimated to be valued at nearly $9.3 billion in 2011. BCC projects this market to reach nearly $14.9 billion by 2016 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10%.
• Chemical processes (including chemical vapor deposition, liquid-phase deposition and plating-type deposition methods) accounted for 54.8% of all revenues in 2011 and was around $5.1 billion. This market is further expected to grow to $7.4 billion by 2016, a CAGR of 7.8%.
• Physical processes (including evaporation, sputtering and ionic deposition) accounted for the remaining 45.2%, corresponding to total revenues of nearly $4.2 billion in 2011. This particular market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.3% to reach $7.5 billion by 2016.

Saudi Arabia Projects Market 2012

The total value of contracts awarded in the kingdom hit $66bn in 2011, a 6 percent increase on the previous year. The steep slowdown in activity in the UAE means that Saudi Arabia is now by far the largest projects market in the region, worth almost as much as the other five GCC states combined. With more than $300bn worth of projects planned and un-awarded, the kingdom has also by far the largest future projects market.

These project opportunities are highlighted in the Saudi Arabia Projects Market 2012, the latest report to be published by MEED Insight, the research and analysis arm of MEED. Comprising more than 100 pages, the report provides a comprehensive overview of all key project sectors, and is an invaluable tool for any company wishing to do business in the kingdom.

There are several key factors driving project growth in the kingdom. The most obvious is record high oil prices which enable the government to increase its capital projects outlay. Demographic growth is also critical as a larger population and a booming economy result in the need to invest in utilities and transportation infrastructure. The Arab Spring too has acted as an impetus for Riyadh to accelerate spending on social infrastructure schemes.

For most companies and professionals involved in the regional projects market the sheer size and potential of the Saudi Arabia projects market makes it the number one opportunity in the region,” says Ed James, Head of MEED Insight. “With the UAE projects market declining, and Qatar yet to really get going with its project plans, Saudi Arabia is the only GCC projects market to offer immediate opportunities for many companies.”

“What’s equally important is that the Saudi projects market is based on a fundamental need for investment rather than speculation. The combination of this need and the ability to pay to meet this need will ensure that market can only go from strength to strength, as such, MEED Insight forecasts that the Saudi Arabia projects market will grow 10 per cent to $72bn worth of contract awards in 2012 spurred by increased investments in the construction, petrochemicals and power sectors.

Inverter Technology Trends, Market & Supply Chain Analysis

In order to illustrate advantages of new semiconductor devices, this report will provide a clear understanding of power module packaging evolution. Today, semiconductor manufacturers, power module makers and system integrators are looking for: more reliable interconnections, materials which withstand higher working temperature, and ways to remove or reduce cooling system size. Indeed, due to the higher switching frequencies and heat coming from external sources (external motors, high ambient temperature) semiconductor dies are getting closer to the heat dissipation system. This also means die attach materials are being investigated in order to maintain strong connection between the DBC and the semiconductor device. Copper wire bonds or Aluminum ribbon bonds are preferred to standard Aluminum technologies (which still represent 90% of the market), since they also support harsh working conditions. Another track for interconnection is foil-based solutions, which enable power module volume reduction, higher reliability to vibrations, connection of SMDs or other devices on top of the module and adoption of double sided cooling systems.

Power electronics now implies working with a broad spectrum of knowledge and know-how: mechanical, electrical, semiconductor, fluidics, hydraulics, connectors… Therefore, developments can be complicated and final products can be expensive.

As a consequence, we have observed and analyzed in this report the two main trends coming from the power electronics industry, which actually depends on the players locations:
• Japanese and Chinese players, especially from system makers tend to go downstream and master the manufacturing processes of each sub-system and component. In the case of Japanese companies, this tendency is mostly driven by cost reduction and absorption of intermediary margins, whereas Chinese companies want to access the technology and show some proof of quality
• On the other hand, EU and US players are more diversified, and acquisition of new competencies (such as Mersen, Rogers or Power Integration) or high-end R&D and prototyping services (APEI, Primes, IMEC, GE Global Research) is getting more common.

Fuel Efficient Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) Technologies Worldwide

Fuel Efficient Internal Combustion Engine market report contains comprehensive data on the worldwide market for efficient ICE technologies (engine deactivation, cylinder deactivation, variable valve timing and lift, turbochargers and superchargers, direct fuel injection, homogeneous charge compression ignition, reduced displacement engines, hybrids and partial hybrids, split cycle engines, and opposed piston/opposed cylinder engine designs. Market data are provided for historic (2006 to 2011 Q3) and forecast (2011 Q4 to 2021) market size data in terms of the dollar value of product shipments. The report identifies key trends affecting the marketplace, along with trends driving growth, and central challenges to further market development. The report also profiles leading startups and established manufacturers of fuel efficient ICEs that are most relevant to the fuel efficient ICE industry.

Internal combustion engines (ICEs) power our cars, trucks, big rigs, trains, generator sets, ships, and a host of other applications worldwide. Unfortunately, conventional ICEs boast low efficiency - most convert only 30% of fuel into usable work, and that is under optimal conditions. When accounting for idling and sub-optimal speeds, efficiency drops to 15 to 20%. That means, for every gallon of fuel placed into the engine, only 15 to 20% of the energy in that fuel is ever transferred into usable mechanical energy under typical conditions. The remaining 80 to 85% of energy contained in the fuel is wasted - wasted on friction, losses to heat, incomplete burning, and other inefficiencies characteristic of conventional ICEs.

Spurred by the current global focus on reducing carbon emissions, promoting sustainability, and enhancing energy use efficiency, global governments and industry leaders are driving strong interest, research, and investment in improving ICE efficiency. Companies as diverse as automaking giants Ford Motor Company and Toyota, to engine manufacturers in the U.S. and Europe, to a handful of tiny Silicon Valley and MIT associated startups, are pushing the efficiency envelope of ICEs.

Generally speaking, ICE efficiency measures come in two forms: (1) specialized components, add-ons, and auxiliary systems that are worked into the basic framework design of a conventional reciprocating internal combustion engine; and (2) highly modified or novel engine designs, which seek to re-engineer the internal combustion engine from the ground up, using alternative and novel designs and processes. Measures in the former group are being more widely pursued by the existing automotive and ICE production industries, where manufacturers are focusing on incremental design updates to conventional engines. These technologies include engine deactivation, cylinder deactivation, variable valve timing and lift, turbochargers and superchargers, direct fuel injection, smaller displacement motors, hybrid and partial hybrid systems, and homogeneous charge compression ignition. These measures apply to conventional designs with relatively little modification.
