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.
