Company information and website operation
Swiss Re Sites are group-wide sites that include Content relating to Swiss Re and its businesses. Swiss Re Sites are provided by Swiss Re Ltd (group holding company), a public stock company (Aktiengesellschaft) incorporated under the laws of Switzerland with registered and principal office in Zurich, Switzerland and registered under the number CH-020.3.036.183-8 (UID: CHE‑191.546.43) in the Commercial Register of the Canton of Zurich. Swiss Re Ltd is listed in accordance with the International Reporting Standard on the SIX Swiss Exchange. The VAT number of Swiss Re Ltd is CHE-116.291.855.
Swiss Re Sites are operated on platforms (the “Platforms”, each a "Platform") of two service providers: Magnolia International Ltd. and Limelight Networks, Inc. with principal places of business in Switzerland and the U.S.A. (the “Service Providers”). The Service Providers have data centres in the USA and Switzerland and provide various services to Swiss Re in connection with the operation of Swiss Re Sites (the “Services”).

Furthermore, some services or solutions may only be available to certain categories of persons. Therefore, please read carefully the relevant description on the respective Swiss Re Site or request further information about the relevant service or solution.

Swiss Re does not guarantee, represent or warrant that any services or solutions discussed on Swiss Re Sites are suitable for any individual or corporate recipient. No representation or warranty, either express or implied, is provided in relation to the accuracy, completeness or reliability of Content, nor is Content a complete statement of the services or solutions, markets or developments referred to therein. Content should not be regarded by recipients as a substitute for the exercise of their judgment. Any opinions are subject to change without notice and may differ or be contrary to opinions expressed by other business areas or members of Swiss Re as a result of using different assumptions and criteria. Swiss Re is not under any obligation to update or keep current the information about services and solutions contained on Swiss Re Sites.
No offer
Content contained on Swiss Re Sites is just for information purposes. The information is subject to, and must be read in conjunction with, all other publicly available information published by Swiss Re. No Content available on a Swiss Re Site constitutes a solicitation, an offer, or a recommendation to buy any services or solutions, to effect any transactions or to conclude any legal act of any kind whatsoever. You or your company may not rely on Content on a Swiss Re Site for making any decision relating to services or solutions of Swiss Re.
In making Content available, Swiss Re gives no advice and makes no recommendation to buy, sell or otherwise deal in its shares, or in any other securities or investments whatsoever. The Content does not constitute or form part of, and should not be construed as, an offer for sale or subscription of, or solicitation of any offer or invitation to subscribe for, underwrite or otherwise acquire or dispose of any securities of Swiss Re and it does not constitute an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity under section 21 of the UK Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. None of the Swiss Re securities have been, or will be, registered under the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Act and in compliance with state securities laws. The Content does not constitute an invitation to effect any transaction with, or to make use of any services provided by, Swiss Re. Statements in Content as to historical performance or historical share price are not intended to mean that future performance or historical share price for any period will necessarily match or exceed those of any prior year. Nothing in Content should be construed as a profit forecast. The information and opinions are subject to change without notice.
Swiss Re does not intend to provide legal or tax advice through any Swiss Re Site.

Certain statements and illustrations contained herein are forward-looking. These statements (including as to plans, objectives, targets, and trends) and illustrations provide current expectations of future events based on certain assumptions and include any statement that does not directly relate to a historical fact or current fact.

Such factors include, among others:
These factors are not exhaustive. The Group operates in a continually changing environment and new risks emerge continually.
