Envivas Kranken came out on top, pushing DEVK Kranken into 2nd place. Provinzial Kranken was a couple of percentage points behind in 3rd place.
Looking beneath the surface, it was both Envivas’ and DEVK’s healthy figures in the Risk and Other Result, and also Provinzial’s superior Inventory Reduction rate that did them a great service.
These companies were between 16%-18% above the Economic Capital Ratio average of 9%, which is the ratio of a company’s own funds to their assets under management. It’s essentially a measure of financial strength.
Envivas were 2nd place in 2020, so it was a strong performance to not only consolidate on their good position, but to push a step further and clinch top spot for 2021!
A special mention also to Mecklenburgische Kranken and Ergo Kranken for achieving 4th and 5th places respectively in 2021, having not even made the leaderboard in 2020. Great going guys!
A great show from all companies in the top 10, though! Very well done!

- Students aged between 23-30
