The group conducts investment operations on behalf of its insurance clients with the aim of ensuring a stable and durable return on their assets over the long term. For more than 150 years, this expertise has been reinforced and structured on the basis of an organization that places risk management at the heart of its profession as investor. Permanent investments in the improvement of information systems, teams of analysts close to their respective market and the maintenance of an economic research unit enable the company to develop reliable and sustainable investment strategies. On the strength of this experience and expertise, Swiss Life has built up a range of products and services that meet the requirements of a demanding professional clientele comprising institutional investors, businesses, distribution platforms and private banks. Since the Swiss Life group has painstakingly developed its capacities for analyzing the needs of investors via asset-liability management (ALM) under the constant challenge of strict in-house criteria, and because the group has been serving its private customers for more than a century and a half, Swiss Life has amply demonstrated its capability as a solid and reliable partner in asset management.
