HDI

What HDI does

HDI Pensionsmanagement AG is a Cologne-based competence center for occupational retirement provision (Betriebliche Altersversorgung, bAV) in Germany, wholly owned by Frankfurt SDAX-listed Talanx AG. The firm serves corporate clients across all industries and sizes with a full-spectrum service model covering bAV consulting, actuarial expert reports (pension and anniversary valuations, HGB and international standard calculations), pension fund expert reports, pension reserve calculations, and supplementary scheme amendments. Approximately 90 specialized employees, including more than 50 bAV specialists and more than 20 certified actuarial experts, deliver the practice, supported by a multidisciplinary team of syndicated lawyers, mathematicians, programmers, insurance merchants, and certified actuaries. The company claims bAV expertise dating back to 1984 and produces more than 5,000 expert reports annually.

The technical platform centers on a set of digital, self-service tools layered on top of the consulting practice: the Gutachtenkonfigurator enables online configuration and ordering of actuarial expert opinions; the Prognoseberechnung projects five-year pension obligation development under Best Estimate and Flat methods from EUR 350; the VO-Check reviews pension scheme legal compliance at EUR 899 per scheme; the Rückstellungsrechner allows self-service pension reserve calculations; and Datenaustausch provides ISO 27001-certified secure document exchange. Marketing infrastructure includes HubSpot-driven automation, Google Analytics, and a multi-channel content strategy spanning blog, newsletter (Betriebsrente AKTUELL), webinars/WebTrainings, and LinkedIn, Facebook, and XING.

Revenue is generated through professional-services fees with transparent fixed pricing on standardized offerings and project-based pricing on bespoke engagements. Distribution combines a digital-first self-serve channel (website, online configurators) with direct consulting for enterprise clients, marketed nationwide without disclosed international expansion. The business model is pay-as-you-go on transactional products, supplemented by recurring annual valuations, outsourcing arrangements, and advisory retainers. Beyond organic service expansion, HDI extended into digital life insurance distribution in 2021 via a majority acquisition of Community Life.
