Despite a particularly difficult economic environment, Swiss Life was able to offer a net return of 3.60% on its Swiss Guarantee investment vehicle for 2008. With its asset management approach based on a long-term outlook, Swiss Life enables its clients to prepare for their retirement with complete peace of mind.
To guarantee a supplementary pension, Swiss Life offers its corporate clients and their affiliates a diversified range of investment funds and two guaranteed capital investment vehicles, Swiss Guarantee and Swiss Dynamic Protection, both of which proved their worth in 2008.
Demonstrating the distinctive nature of the Swiss Guarantee formula, which blends performance with security, Swiss Life can confirm a 2008 net return in euro of 3.60% on savings in its guaranteed rate vehicle. Given the extremely volatile financial climate, this attractive return highlights the strength of an investment policy that is at one and the same time dynamic and based on a long-term strategy.

As for Swiss Dynamic Protection, the Swiss Life investment vehicle that guarantees the invested contributions and allocated share of profits, the net return in euro for 2008 is 2.80%. Bearing in mind the current environment, this is an encouraging figure which must of course be considered from a long-term perspective and in terms of the performances of other players on this market.

The net returns achieved in 2008 reaffirm Swiss Life’s position as a key player on the market providing solutions to both companies and their employees.


Note: The rates of return indicated above are subject to the approval of the general meeting of Swiss Life (Luxembourg) S.A. These rates testify to the quality and cautious nature of our investment strategy. They are not, however, a guarantee of future rates of return.
