In detail Investments The assets are invested by Zurich Life Insurance Company Ltd as part of a collective life insurance agreement. This contract stipulates that Zurich Life Insurance Company Ltd is to ensure all benefits set out in the regulations. In addition to the risks of disability and death, this also includes capital market risks. Zurich pursues a conservative investment strategy with a relatively high proportion of government and corporate bonds. Vita Classic investment strategy Interest earned Interest is earned on the savings capital in accordance with the collective life insurance tariff, and the interest rate is reviewed each year. In addition to fixed interest, the insured can also benefit from surplus generated by the savings capital. Zurich also distributes additional surpluses if the disability and death premiums have been calculated too conservatively – i.e. if fewer claims have been made than assumed.
