Swiss Life Holding AG
Industry Group: Insurance
Country/Region: Switzerland
Identifier: SWX:SLHN
Swiss Life is one of the largest insurers in Switzerland. The company sells life insurance, pensions, and financial advice and solutions to companies and individuals. The company encourages financial security, be that through saving for retirement or protecting individuals against loss of income. Protection against loss of income protects individuals and families against loss of work or a death in the family. Many of Swiss Life’s savings products carry guarantees where customers participate in the returns Swiss Life generates on their assets, to a discretionary degree. That return should be above a minimum. The company also sells financial protection products where the return is directly linked to the performance of the assets. In this instance Swiss Life makes no such guarantee.
