In November 2026, Swiss Life reported that high single premiums in group life drove a 15% increase in its Swiss premium measure for the first nine months of the year. The insurer published its unaudited update on 11 November for the period ended 30 September. Swiss gross written premiums, policy fees and deposits reached CHF 9.424 billion, compared with CHF 8.199 billion a year earlier.
What the increase measures
The 15% increase is for the Swiss business unit as a whole. The company pointed to group life single premiums as the main driver, without disclosing their separate contribution or the growth rate of recurring group life premiums. A one-time payment can materially change period volumes. It cannot by itself show whether the insurer has gained more recurring business or is expanding capacity for protection risks.
Swiss Life also reported CHF 8.7 billion in assets under management in its Swiss semi-autonomous business at the end of September, up from CHF 8.4 billion at the end of 2025. That is a stock measured on a date, whereas premium and deposit figures describe flows over a period. Neither figure alone provides a comparison of plan funding or insurance terms.
