Helvetia holds investments in foreign currencies to match liabilities in foreign currencies and to diversify the asset base. The currency exposure is currently around CHF 4 bn and is systematically hedged.

In general, the exposure in assets exposed to market risks has increased in the year. This is also valid for gross FX exposures in investments in foreign currencies, among other reasons, because the new issuance activity in Swiss francs

it k Th h d i l l ll i t i dwas quite weak. The hedging levels were generally maintained

The hedges capture the volatility of FX exposures in the P&L. Some 2/3 of currencies were continuously hedged The rest of the exposures remained open, firstly on the assumption that the lower boundary of the CHF/EUR remains and secondly given the strengthening US Dollar.
