Baloise Asset Management Ltd has been renamed Helvetia Asset Management Ltd (HAM), the company announced, marking another milestone in the integration of the Helvetia Baloise Group. The rebranding follows the merger of the group's two asset management companies at the start of July 2026 and establishes a unified market presence under the Helvetia Group brand.
The move creates one of Switzerland's largest insurance asset managers, with over CHF 100 billion in assets under management. The division also ranks among the country's top five real estate investment managers, managing or advising approximately CHF 20 billion in real estate assets. "By establishing a unified market presence, we are bringing together the extensive experience and complementary strengths of both organisations. This enables us to offer our clients a broader range of investment solutions and support them in achieving their long-term investment objectives," said André Keller, Group Chief Investment Officer.
The rebranding is significant for institutional investors and pension funds in Switzerland and beyond. HAM now offers a broad range of specialised investment solutions, including multi-asset strategies, real estate, mortgages and private markets. With more than 160 years of experience in managing insurance assets, the firm is positioned to serve pension funds, insurance companies and other institutional investors. The group-wide collaboration between insurance, banking and asset management also extends to private clients, who benefit from the investment expertise for individual retirement planning.
The real estate capabilities are a key component of the offering. HAM covers the entire real estate value chain, from development and construction to property management and the management of entire portfolios. The portfolio is complemented by mortgage investment solutions. As part of the unified market presence, numerous investment funds have also been renamed.

For the wider asset management industry, the consolidation reflects a broader trend of mergers and rebranding among Swiss financial institutions. The combined entity's scale and diversified offerings could increase competitive pressure on smaller asset managers, particularly in real estate and multi-asset strategies. Clients may benefit from a more integrated suite of products, but the integration also raises questions about fund continuity and operational changes. The renaming of investment funds may require investors to review their holdings and update internal records.
