About the Financial Markets Program

The selected candidate will join the Financial Markets Program (FMP), Swiss Re Asset Management's flagship rotational program for early-career analysts who aspire to build a long-term career in investing across markets, asset classes, and real-world risks.

If you’re interested in investments, insurance may not be the first industry that comes to mind—but it should be. At Swiss Re, our investment work is central to how we create value and keep our promises to clients. We manage a large, sophisticated portfolio designed to support claims payments, generate investment income and match the different risks we take across life and health, property and casualty, specialty lines and global currencies.

You will rotate across several investment teams spanning public and private markets, gaining first-hand experience across the investment lifecycle. Working alongside experienced investment professionals, you will analyze markets, contribute to investment decisions and help solve real business challenges from day one.

Alongside your rotations, you will benefit from structured training, mentoring, regular coaching, exposure to senior leaders and support towards the CFA qualification. By the end of the program, you will have developed a broad understanding of institutional investing, built a strong internal network, and established the foundation for a specialized career within Swiss Re Asset Management.

About the Investment Analyst role

As an Investment Analyst in the FMP, you will develop a 360° view of investment management within insurance while contributing across the investment value chain. Your responsibilities will include:

• Rotate through 3-4 investment teams (e.g. Private Equity, Private Debt, Public Fixed Income, Asset Allocation, Corporate Development)
• Analyze financial markets, industries and investment opportunities to support investment decisions
• Assess portfolio performance, risk exposures and macroeconomic developments
• Contribute to investment strategy, portfolio construction and capital allocation decisions
• Support due diligence, investment recommendations and transaction execution
• Prepare materials for investment committees and senior stakeholders
• Contribute to cross-functional initiatives that improve investment processes and innovation
• Apply data, quantitative tools and emerging technologies to enhance investment analysis
• Present findings and recommendations to senior stakeholders

You’ll follow a development plan tailored to your strengths, with structured feedback and visibility across Swiss Re Asset Management.
