This is the result of a well established financial culture which doesn‘t look for „quick wins“ but is aimed at long lasting and stable values Jens Kuderer, LL.M. // Stuttgart, May 8th 2014 Arbeitsgemeinschaft Baden-Württembergischer Bausparkassen Seite 3 Saving for an house takes time… Example: Ten potential home owners, each of them is able to save 10,000 € p.a. Costs for one house are 100,000 € If every potential home owner saves only for his own house, it takes each of them ten years, until they have enough money to built it Jens Kuderer, LL.M. // Stuttgart, May 8th 2014 Arbeitsgemeinschaft Baden-Württembergischer Bausparkassen Seite 4 The basic Idea: help for self-help Example: Potential home owners pool their money in a common fund Year 1 The 1st one can buy or build a house by drawing on the savings of the other nine Year 10 Year 2 The 2nd one can realise his house by drawing on the savings of eight plus the redemption payments made by the first one All of them are able to buy or build their houses by using this system, 4.5 years earlier on average as if each had saved the necessary money alone Jens Kuderer, LL.M. // Stuttgart, May 8th 2014 Arbeitsgemeinschaft Baden-Württembergischer Bausparkassen Seite 5 Bausparen: A self enclosed system Self enclosed system Deposits of the Bauspar customers Deposit interests paid by the Bauspar institution Repayment amounts of those Bauspar customers, who have already obtained Funds in a loan Bauspar account Possibly Government subsidy (premium) Loan repayments Interests obtained Govermental premium Bauspar Customers All deposits and repayments made flow into one fund from which in turn new loans are issued Guarantees sustainability and independence Jens Kuderer, LL.M. // Stuttgart, May 8th 2014 Arbeitsgemeinschaft Baden-Württembergischer Bausparkassen Seite 6 Financial target (Bauspar-amount) The architecture of a Bauspar-contract Deposit Loan Savings period Allotment

in the 1920‘s in Wüstenrot Jens Kuderer, LL.M. // Stuttgart, May 8th 2014 Arbeitsgemeinschaft Baden-Württembergischer Bausparkassen Seite 8 Today a allotment is calculated using a mathematical assessment process Relevant for the allotment is to reach the „Bewertungszahl“ (evaluation figure) Calculation of the Bewertungszahl (BZ): 200 x TB BZ = D / 1000 + ZF x D x D / (SHS + 3 x G) TB = Tilgungsbeitrag D = Differenz Bausparsumme / Bausparguthaben ZF = Zinsfaktor SHS = Summe Habensalden G = Bausparguthaben Jens Kuderer, LL.M. // Stuttgart, May 8th 2014 Seite 9 24.06.2015

his financial capability during the savings phase Low requirements on the solvency of the institutions Governmental supervision and strong restrictments Jens Kuderer, LL.M. // Stuttgart, May 8th 2014 Arbeitsgemeinschaft Baden-Württembergischer Bausparkassen Seite 12 Market opportunities Bausparen is more than buying or building houses: Accumulation of capital assets Securing the value of wealth by investing in real estate, especially in times of inflation Energy efficient refurbishment Retirement provisions by Owning a house (no costs for rent) „Wohnriester/Eigenheimrente“ – Bauspar-contracts with governmental incentives especially for private pension provisons Additional income from rent Bildungssparen – Using the Bauspar-contract to finance academic studies (in Austria only) However, the Bauspar-regulations limit the usage of Bausparcontracts to certain purposes usually related to housing (e.g. Bauspar-loans can’t be used to purchase a car or for travelling) Jens Kuderer, LL.M. //
