The Swiss Life Group is streamlining its legal structures. The asset management business (Swiss Life Asset Management) is accordingly being transferred from the insurance company Swiss Life/Rentenanstalt to Swiss Life Holding.
Optimising the Swiss Life Group's legal structure is a further step in the strategic realignment which was launched in Autumn 2002. One of the aims is to reduce the complexity of the Group's structure. Separating the asset management and insurance business also delineates the different business areas more clearly.
The shares of Swiss Life Asset Management, Zurich, and Swiss Life Asset Management (Nederland) B.V., Amstelveen, will be sold to Swiss Life Holding by a subsidiary of Swiss Life/Rentenanstalt in December 2003.
Both companies will be transferred on market terms, in compliance with the regulatory and fiscal requirements.
