Swiss Life Premium Expert

You participate in a customised fund exclusively launched for Swiss Life Premium Expert. It invests in cost-effective funds and unit classes reserved for institutional investors. Swiss Life Funds III (CH) Expert 2030 I A is optimally aligned to the term of Swiss Life Premium Expert. The specialists at Swiss Life Asset Managers manage the fund with the objective of achieving as attractive a return as possible after ten years.

The fund invests in a broadly diversified portfolio of institutional funds and investment unit classes in the areas of equities, bonds and real estate.

• Equities allow you to participate in global economic development. This can involve investment in Swiss shares as well as in the equity markets in industrialised and emerging countries.
• Bonds fulfil various tasks in the portfolio. Bonds in Swiss francs and global government bonds serve as safe havens – particularly in times of turbulence. Corporate bonds and high-yield and emerging market bonds deliver higher earnings, especially in a stable, positive economic environment. The currency risk for bonds is systematically hedged.
• Real estate investments are another stable source of returns and further diversify your portfolio.

You benefit like professional investors from low-cost institutional funds and unit classes that Swiss Life also uses in the pension fund for its own employees.

Here, the investment experts at Swiss Life Asset Managers reduce the fluctuation range as the remaining maturity decreases. We aim to ensure that the investments are exposed to increasingly lower value fluctuations. To this end we specify volatility target sizes for the investments that decrease over the term. Taking account of the current economic situation, these volatility targets can be adjusted in both directions in order to position the portfolio correctly. If signals are positive, the volatility target can be increased – for better return opportunities. Conversely, the volatility target can be reduced in the event of a negative outlook in order to be better positioned for a turbulent market environment with less volatile investments.

For example, we aim to create an investment portfolio that both gradually and systematically reduces value fluctuations, while at the same time being flexible enough to exploit market opportunities. For your self-determined financial future.
