In addition, he assumed in October 2010 the role of Chairman of Admin Re\u00ae, Swiss Re&#8217;s Business Unit responsible for acquiring closed blocks of life insurance business. <\/p>\n<p>Walter B. Kielholz, Chairman of the Board of Directors, says: &#8220;The Board of Directors very much regrets David&#8217;s decision to leave Swiss Re after more than four years of successfully leading Asset Management. Under his leadership, Swiss Re&#8217;s Asset Management has focused on a prudent asset-liability matched approach and has delivered excellent investment returns, despite turbulent financial markets. Asset Management is exceptionally well-placed to continue to support Swiss Re&#8217;s new corporate structure and in achieving Swiss Re&#8217;s five-year financial targets. Our Admin Re\u00ae Business Unit has also greatly benefited from David&#8217;s expertise, not least in the context of the recent sale of the US business of Admin Re\u00ae.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Prior to joining Swiss Re, David Blumer had been a member of the Executive Board at Credit Suisse. Born in 1968, David Blumer is a Swiss citizen and a graduate in economics of the University of Zurich. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Swiss Re&#8217;s Board of Directors announces that Chief Investment Officer David Blumer has decided to leave the company, effective 1 November 2012.
