Germany’s Allianz said on Monday it plans to distribute at least three-quarters of its net profit to shareholders via dividends and share buybacks over the next three years.
The Munich-based insurer said it would maintain its dividend policy of distributing 60% of the net profit after minority interests directly. Additionally, from 2025 to 2027, at least 15% of the profit would be returned to shareholders on average, for example, through share buybacks.
Allianz, among Europe’s largest financial services groups, is hosting a capital markets day on Tuesday to present its strategy and financial targets for the coming years.
In recent years, the insurer has already distributed more through dividends and share buybacks than its plans for the coming years anticipate.
Since 2017, Allianz has spent almost 14 billion euros on share buybacks. It only revised its dividend policy in the spring: since then, it has aimed for a payout ratio of 60%, up from the previous 50%.
