Active capital management
A key component of strategy is active capital management. The capital structure is designed by taking into account economic criteria, the regulatory framework and specifications relating to technical ratings. The aim is to achieve a balanced maturity structure of outstanding liabilities on the capital market. Developments with regard to innovative risk transfer solutions are incorporated into the capital management decision-making process. The aim of these measures is to increase the profit distribution to shareholders. Once the announced sales have been closed, Swiss Life plans to launch a share buyback programme of up to CHF 2.5 billion.
