ZURICH (Reuters) - Swiss Life chief executive Patrick Frost will step down in May 2024, Switzerland's biggest life insurer said on Monday.

Frost, who has held the CEO role for ten years, will be replaced by Swiss Life's current finance chief Matthias Aellig, effective May 16, the company said in a statement.

The company's shares were down 1.7% in early morning trading.

"We regret Patrick Frost's retirement as CEO," Vontobel analyst Simon Foessmeier said.

"A significant part of Swiss Life's success in recent years has been the quality of the management team."
