Investment Management

For more than 150 years we prove our expertise in this field as Asset Manager for Swiss Life’s insurance business as well as for institutional clients.

With assets under management of over CHF 130 billion we are one of the largest institutional asset managers in Switzerland. As Fixed Income House we mainly focus on corporate and government bonds, but we also manage cash, equities and foreign exchange. As owner of one of the largest real estate portfolios we manage assets worth more than CHF 12 billion.

The profiles and expectations of our institutional clients are many and varied, and both play a strong role in shaping our partnerships. We therefore consider individual advice and support and top-quality service to be the key factors in creating a long-term business relationship based on trust. Our qualified and experienced employees are the key to providing an individual service.

Swiss Life Asset Management consistently gears its products and solutions to the requirements of its clients and bases its operations on a successful investment philosophy:

• We exploit market inefficiencies using active management and a long-range focus.
  
• We rely on a structured, transparent and disciplined investment process.
  
• We concentrate on the influencing factors which are relevant to the asset class concerned (interest, currencies, equities).
  
• We incorporate the individual client's requirements into the portfolio design.
  
• In combination with our investment process and our pool of specialists, we generate an above-average performance for our customers over the long term.

Swiss Life is one of the largest private real estate owners in Switzerland, providing tens of thousands of people with somewhere to live or work. The Swiss Life portfolio also includes a large number of prestigious buildings in major Swiss cities.
