Our history
The real estate asset class is very important to Swiss Life Asset Managers. We hold it for the benefit of those insured with us. Due to its investment horizon and sustainable use, real estate is an excellent match for the long-term liabilities arising from our insurance business. We also offer our third-party clients investment solutions that we have already successfully implemented on our insurance balance sheet, thereby providing them with unique access to the European real estate market. This in the form of collective investment solutions, club deals and co-investments. This allows us to support our customers in achieving their long-term financial objectives.
