What does the profit mix mean?

Profit from operations increased 8.00 percent in local currency to CHF 967 million in the first half of 2026, while the fee result rose 11.00 percent to CHF 430 million. Gross written premiums, fees, and deposits received increased 3.00 percent to CHF 12.3 billion. The figures include a CHF 23 million gain from transferring the international network to a partner, which makes the recurring earnings trend an important distinction.

Next reporting date is March 2027

The next dated events are Swiss Life's fiscal-year 2026 report on March 3, 2027 and its annual meeting on May 11, 2027, as listed by Onvista. The schedule gives investors two concrete checkpoints after the buyback period begins.
