Swiss Re AG dividend income comes from one of the world's oldest reinsurers, a Zurich-based firm founded in 1863 that underwrites property, casualty, and life and health risk across global markets. The current yield stands at 4.41%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $7.7805 per share. The next ex-dividend date is April 15, 2026. A beta of 0.346 points to low price volatility, which suits income-focused investors who prioritize a steady payout over share price swings.
Swiss Re AG pays out 43.0% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as moderate (40-60%). That level leaves meaningful earnings retained within the business, supporting the current payout across SSREF's three operating segments: Property and Casualty Reinsurance, Life and Health Reinsurance, and Corporate Solutions. Swiss Re AG dividend safety faces its most notable pressure from the history table, which shows at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, confirming the payout is not immune to cuts when conditions deteriorate.
Swiss Re AG dividend history shows a CAGR of 6.4% per year from 2012 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $3.2762 to $7.3500 over that window (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the CAGR calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 146.4% in 2013, which skews the long-run average upward and reflects an unusually large single-year jump rather than a pattern of outsized raises.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +5.7% | $6.22 (2022) | $7.35 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +3.8% | $6.09 (2020) | $7.35 (2025) |
| 10-Year | -0.3% | $7.59 (2015) | $7.35 (2025) |
SSREF fits income-focused investors who want a high yield from a large, diversified reinsurer without concentrating in a single line of business. The yield of 4.41% is classified as high (above 4%), and it sits above the 5-year average of 3.76%, meaning the current entry point delivers more income than the historical norm. The 43.0% payout ratio keeps the dividend from looking stretched. The trade-off is that the history includes at least one meaningful decline, so the payout has not been unconditionally maintained through every period in the available data.
