The company manages the assets of its parent company, Swiss Life, as well as assets of other institutional customers, making it the third biggest asset manager in Switzerland for institutional clients.[6]
Swiss Life Asset Managers works with fixed income, real estate, equity, and infrastructure investments.[8] The company has several subsidiaries which allow its operations to expand into Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Luxembourg and Norway.[9]
History[edit]
The Rentenanstalt[edit]
The activities of Swiss Life Asset Managers originated in the creation of Schweizerische Rentenanstalt in 1857, which would subsequently become the Swiss Life group.[5][10] In 1858, the company invested in a loan through a mortgage bond for the first time, to pay for their clients’ annuity contracts (future life insurance contracts). This investment activity gradually diversified within the insurance company, which notably invested in railway bonds over the following decades, and then began investing in the field of real estate in 1893.[5][11]
In 1986, Schweizerische Rentenanstalt launched a new business area offering asset management services for third-party clients.[11] In 2004, the Schweizerische Rentenanstalt is rebranded as Swiss Life. In 2012, Swiss Life created the brand Swiss Life Asset Managers under which all of its asset management activities are combined.[12]
International expansion[edit]
The real estate investment activities of Swiss Life Asset Managers mainly grew from the end of the 1990s from successive external growth operations through the acquisition of other companies. In 1999, Rentenanstalt bought out Livit Real Estate Management.[10] Over the years, Livit became a 100% branch of Swiss Life Asset Managers but continues to this day to conduct business under its own brand.[13]
In France, Swiss Life Asset Managers acquired the company Viveris REIM in 2011, specialising in real estate investment funds.[14] In 2019, the entire French asset management business was fully consolidated into Swiss Life Asset Managers.[15]
In Germany, Swiss Life Asset Managers took over of Corpus Sireo in 2014, a company specialising in real estate asset management.[16] In 2018, the company also acquired BEOS, a German business real estate investment company (logistics centres, in particular).[17] BEOS is still operating under their own brand while Corpus Sireo has been integrated into Swiss Life Asset Managers.[18]
In 2016, the company enters the British market with the acquisition of Mayfair Capital, a real estate investment company based in London.[19] In 2019, Swiss Life Asset Managers acquired Fontavis, a Swiss infrastructure investment company specialising in the field of clean energy (hydropower, wind farms, electric power grids, solar panel installations, and recycling).[20] Swiss Life Asset Managers and Fontavis officially merged their infrastructure capabilities in December 2021 and the Fontavis brand ceased to operate.[21]
Finally, in 2021 the company invests in the Nordics by acquiring the $2bn real estate branch of Norwegian asset manager giant NRP, rebranding it as Swiss Life Asset Managers Nordics.[22][23]
Activities[edit]
Swiss Life Asset Managers’ operations consist of investing its clients’ assets in financial markets, as well as in the field of real estate, infrastructure, fixed income and multi-asset equities.[24] All in all, the company features among the three biggest property owners in Europe, and is the third biggest asset manager in Switzerland for institutional clients.[6] One notable investment from the real estate business was in the “Circle”, a modern building for retail and offices right next to Zurich Airport.[5]
