PrismaLife AG reports a successful 2025 financial year: in a year marked by geopolitical uncertainties and a challenging market environment, the company significantly improved key performance indicators. The drivers were once again the unit-linked product and additional payments into existing policies.

Like the sector as a whole, PrismaLife also saw a decline in new business involving single premiums, but recorded growth in regular premiums.
