13 Swiss Re's asset management 13

14 Introduction The Asset Management function is responsible for managing both the Group's and the Business Units' (BUs) investments A top-down group-wide investment strategy is consistently applied across the BUs ALM remains the cornerstone of the investment process The BUs' Asset Liability Management (ALM) characteristics and objectives are reflected in the BUs' strategic asset allocations (SAAs) Integrated risk allocation principles are used to allocate capital and manage risk Asset Management provides the Group and the BUs with customised investment management services and provides attractive long term investment returns in accordance with the allocated risk capacity 14

16 Rebalancing of investment portfolio Purpose: move the asset allocation closer to peers and mid-term plan, while remaining balanced overall Market outlook: moderate growth favours credit allocation Expected impact: increased investment income and potential for capital appreciation compared to starting point Portfolio Actions: increase allocation in high quality credit and equity and establishment of short duration position Implementation period: largely completed by Q

17 Integrated investment process at Group and BU levels Top-down investment view Business considerations Capital/liquidity considerations Group SAA / BU SAAs Investment views and market scenarios Determine preferred investment universe Business Units' characteristics, objectives and considerations Risk parameterisation and modeling Internal and external capital and liquidity requirements Detailed analysis of the current portfolio Target metrics applied BU SAAs tailored to their needs and objectives Group and BU SAAs consistent with top-down investment strategy and capital and liquidity capacity 17

18 Investment governance Group level Business Units level Group BoD EC approves Group strategic asset allocation (SAA) Asset Management consolidates Group SAA reflecting Business Units' SAA Reinsurance Corporate Solutions Admin Re Investment governance at Group consistent BUs' considerations and needs reflected in investment governance structure Consistency of investment strategy between Group and BUs fully ensured SAA approved by governing Boards 18

20 Investment strategy going forward: What is out there? Macro Risks Policy errors Change in demographics, source of multiple implications Financial repression Deleveraging in public and private sectors Deterioration of the re-intermediation role of long term investors % Pressure on investment returns Low policy-rate environment, spill over effects to be considered Need for long duration assets to support economic growth Regulatory Reforms Broad, ambitious and needed changes, but number and speed is overwhelming; full implications are unclear Long-term market uncertainties remain high, requiring a prudent investment strategy together with agile and efficient investment operations 20

21 Summary Flexible and transparent investment strategy and process Matching liabilities at Group and BU level with corresponding assets based on economic view and within defined limits and controls Controlled and structured investment decisions at all levels Fully in line with Group's overall risk tolerance and capital utilisation and now also reflecting BUs' individual risk limits and capital allocations Enhanced transparency of investment governance Largely unchanged for Group and for in-house/outsourced mandates, as well as tailored SAAs to individual BUs' characteristics and objectives Asset rebalancing largely completed by Q3 2013, tactical short duration position established in mid

24 Cautionary note on forward-looking statements Certain statements and illustrations contained herein are forward-looking. These statements (including as to plans objectives, targets and trends) and illustrations provide current expectations of future events based on certain assumptions and include any statement that does not directly relate to a historical fact or current fact. Forward-looking statements typically are identified by words or phrases such as anticipate, assume, believe, continue, estimate, expect, foresee, intend, may increase and may fluctuate and similar expressions or by future or conditional verbs such as will, should, would and could. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause Swiss Re s actual results of operations, financial condition, solvency ratios, liquidity position or prospects to be materially different from any future results of operations, financial condition, solvency ratios, liquidity position or prospects expressed or implied by such statements or cause Swiss Re to not achieve its published targets. Such factors include, among others: further instability affecting the global financial system and developments related thereto, including as a result of concerns over, or adverse developments relating to, sovereign debt of euro area countries; further deterioration in global economic conditions; Swiss Re s ability to maintain sufficient liquidity and access to capital markets, including sufficient liquidity to cover potential recapture of reinsurance agreements, early calls of debt or debt-like arrangements and collateral calls due to actual or perceived deterioration of Swiss Re s financial strength or otherwise; the effect of market conditions, including the global equity and credit markets, and the level and volatility of equity prices, interest rates, credit spreads, currency values and other market indices, on Swiss Re s investment assets; changes in Swiss Re s investment result as a result of changes in its investment policy or the changed composition of its investment assets, and the impact of the timing of any such changes relative to changes in market conditions; uncertainties in valuing credit default swaps and other credit-related instruments; possible inability to realise amounts on sales of securities on Swiss Re s balance sheet equivalent to their mark-to-market values recorded for accounting purposes; the outcome of tax audits, the ability to realise tax loss carryforwards and the ability to realise deferred tax assets (including by reason of the mix of earnings in a jurisdiction or deemed change of control), which could negatively impact future earnings; the possibility that Swiss Re s hedging arrangements may not be effective; the lowering or loss of one of the financial strength or other ratings of one or more Swiss Re companies, and developments adversely affecting Swiss Re s ability to achieve improved ratings; the cyclicality of the reinsurance industry; uncertainties in estimating reserves; uncertainties in estimating future claims for purposes of financial reporting, particularly with respect to large natural catastrophes, as significant uncertainties may be involved in estimating losses from such events and preliminary estimates may be subject to change as new information becomes available; the frequency, severity and development of insured claim events; acts of terrorism and acts of war; mortality, morbidity and longevity experience; policy renewal and lapse rates; extraordinary events affecting Swiss Re s clients and other counterparties, such as bankruptcies, liquidations and other credit-related events; current, pending and future legislation and regulation affecting Swiss Re or its ceding companies, and the interpretation of legislation or regulations by regulators; legal actions or regulatory investigations or actions, including those in respect of industry requirements or business conduct rules of general applicability; changes in accounting standards; significant investments, acquisitions or dispositions, and any delays, unexpected costs or other issues experienced in connection with any such transactions; changing levels of competition; and operational factors, including the efficacy of risk management and other internal procedures in managing the foregoing risks. These factors are not exhaustive. Swiss Re operates in a continually changing environment and new risks emerge continually. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Swiss Re undertakes no obligation to publicly revise or update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. This communication is not intended to be a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and does not constitute an offer for the sale of, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, securities in any jurisdiction, including the United States.
