5/11/2009 - Last week, Millenniumbcp Fortis insurance company Ocidental Vida was awarded with the award of "Best Large Life Insurance 2008". The award recognizes the outstanding performance of Ocidental Vida last year, measured by the premiums growth and the excellence of its economic and financial indicators, which reflect solvency, soundness, efficiency and profitability of the Company. The very positive evolution of the indicators used in the analysis that led to the recognition of Ocidental Vida as the "Best Large Life Insurance 2008" is the result of the strong strategic focus on cross-selling to the Millenniumbcp Customers, on product innovation and on service excellence, on operational efficiency and strengthening the financial soundness of the Company.

It is also a recognition of the rigorous risk and capital management and of the professionalism and efficiency in the area of asset management. This award is even more significant, since it was achieved in the context of a large scale economic and financial crisis, during a year that has been the most difficult ever for all sectors of the economy.
