It explained that, “His departure results from Swiss Re’s shift in investment philosophy, whereby the company focuses its resources primarily on the operating business while the investments have a reduced risk profile.” The announcement expressed Swiss Re’s thanks to “Giuseppe Benelli for his valued expertise and contribution” and wished him “every success in the future.”
The announcement said that in his new role Aigrain “will be supported by Swiss Re’s long established asset management team, and in particular by Bruno Letsch, Head of Swiss Re Asset Management Europe and John Sweeney, Head of Swiss Re Asset Management America.”
