Swiss Life is the only internationally active company that focuses on its core business of occupational and private pensions. Swiss Life wants to use this excellent position to achieve its ambition of pensions leadership. Linked to this is the goal of generating a net of one billion francs and a sustainable return on equity of more than 10% by 2008. As part of the Investors’ Day being held in Zurich today, Rolf Dörig, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) will give an overview of the positioning and strategic priorities of the Swiss Life Group. Paul Müller, CEO Switzerland, will show how Swiss Life is going to strengthen its impact in distribution, further develop its product range, and increase efficiency and therefore profitability in its Swiss home market, where the company, as market leader, earns around 40% of its premium volume. Bruno Pfister, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Hans-Jürgen Wolter, Chief Risk Officer, will report on the Swiss Life Group’s integrated asset and liability management, focusing on how it deals with various risks and how it has created the necessary room for manoeuvre to react appropriately in every interest rate scenario. Rolf Aeberli, the CEO-designate of Banca del Gottardo, and his CFO Thomas Müller, will present the bank’s strategy and illustrate how its earnings contribution to the Swiss Life Group can clearly be raised.
