This move aims to boost its real estate activities in the region, particularly in Finland, where significant growth is anticipated.
As a key real estate player within Swiss Life Asset Managers' European platform, the company manages approximately €95 bn in real estate assets as of 30 June 2025, with nearly €1 bn already invested in Finland.
The new Finnish subsidiary will be headed by Jussi Raitaniemi, formerly of Trevian, who brings valuable experience and a strong network. He will work alongside Kasper Joukama, a recently appointed senior asset manager for Swiss Life Asset Managers Nordic, to develop the company's presence and dedication to the Finnish market.
Ove Christian Norheim, head of Funds and Asset Management of Swiss Life Asset Managers Nordic, said: "We are happy to strengthen our presence in the Nordics by establishing a subsidiary in Helsinki. Finland has a transparent and well-established market, where we see great potential for further growth." 
Christian Ness, CEO of Swiss Life Asset Managers Nordic, added: "We are very pleased to welcome Jussi Raitaniemi and Kasper Joukama to Swiss Life Asset Managers. Their understanding of real estate and long-standing asset management experience make them a good fit for our new subsidiary in Finland. I am confident that their extensive know-how in asset management and network in the real estate industry will be a great advantage, and we look forward to working with them to expand our presence in Finland." 
Swiss Life Asset Managers Nordic manages assets of €3.6 bn (as at 30 June 2025), which include fund mandates and separate projects.
