The Asset Management Division of Swiss Life/Rentenanstalt, which is responsible for managing the main part of the Group's assets of some 180 billion Swiss francs, was conferred numerous awards for its successful investment activities in 1999:
Standard & Poor's Fund Services and Lipper Schweiz AG granted both Proteus Funds, European Equity Fund and UK Equity Fund, three prestigious Standard & Poor's Swiss Fund Awards (former Micropal Awards) for the best performance in their respective sectors and a "Cash-Lipper Leader Certificate for High Performance", respectively. Proteus Funds belong to the increasingly growing "fund family" of Swiss Life Funds which currently includes close to twenty investment funds throughout Europe.
