Dividends
Capital management priorities
We aim to:
- maximise financial flexibility and ensure superior capitalisation strength at all times,
- grow our regular dividend with long-term earnings and at a minimum maintain it,
- deploy capital for business opportunities where our profitability requirements are met and finally,
- if excess capital is available, repatriation thereof to shareholders.
Dividends are typically paid out of current earnings. Swiss Re pays its dividend annually. Shares are ex-dividend two working days after the Annual General Meeting (AGM). Dividend payment is typically two working days after the ex-dividend date.
