In recent developments, Swiss Life Asset Managers acquired Wilfast Förvaltning AB in Sweden in 2024 to bolster its institutional real estate management in Europe and Scandinavia, and in February 2025, the group expanded its investment capabilities through the acquisition of ZWEI Wealth Experts AG, a Swiss asset management consulting firm; these moves align with ongoing growth, as evidenced by first-quarter 2025 results showing fee income up 3% to CHF 659 million, premiums rising 6% to CHF 7.9 billion, and third-party assets under management reaching CHF 135 billion with net new assets of CHF 9.3 billion. With approximately 11,000 employees and CHF 255.7 billion in assets under management, Swiss Life maintains a strong solvency ratio of around 200% and pursues its 'Swiss Life 2027' strategic program amid robust market positions in core European geographies.
