Within a span of 40 years, OVB has developed into one of the leading financial services providers with a European scope. OVB maintains firm guidelines upon which we are oriented and which are the foundation of our successful business model: concentration on the individual needs of our clients, a partnership-like relationship with employees as well as the providers of products, and consequent international expansion. This is supplemented – both with regard to earnings as well as expenditure – by a stringent growth strategy which is results-oriented in favour of our shareholders. We are systematically employing the growth potentials which are available to us throughout Europe.

Throughout Europe, OVB provides reliable and competent advisory to 2.8 million clients in all matters encompassing private finance. Its focus is concentrated on private households with medium and upscale incomes as well as companies with sales up to €10 million. Meanwhile, more than 60 percent of all OVB clients are located in the dynamically expanding region comprised by Central and Eastern Europe.

In 14 European countries, there are nearly 5,000 full-time financial advisers working for OVB. As independent sales representatives – business partners within the business – they market the investment and financial-security products of our more than 100 product partners. The growth of OVB is based on their advisory competence and motivation. The high level of internationalisation in our field of business is the substantial strength of OVB. The courage to forge ahead into new markets has paid off well. Today we are unlocking the markets of tomorrow.
