Swiss Life : Swiss Life is more than just a life insurer

In this difficult market environment, Swiss Life will continue to stand as a rock in the surf and a safe haven for investors (impressive long term outperformance vs SXIP index of 659%). We see the company achieve or even exceed its 2027 financial targets: 1/ the capital-light and high ROE-generating fee business, which is the growth driver, should reach c.50% of operating profit by 2027, 2/ ROE target range stands at 17-19% (ODDO BHF 2027e: 20%), 3/ cash remittance of CHF 3.6-3.8bn (+28% vs “Swiss Life 2024”, ODDO BHF: CHF 3.8bn). The company will remain shareholder friendly (pay out >75% vs >60% and share buybacks). We initiate coverage at Outperform with a TP of CHF 900.
