As part of the Swiss Life 2024 startegy, Swiss Life is seeking to raise the assets under management of private customers in the home market to more than CHF6.5bn in the next two years.

The firm is eyeing a significant contribution from the development of the affluent segment to achieve this target and support long-term growth in the fee business.
