AHV Pensionskasse
AHV Pensionskasse was established in 1924 to serve the retirement needs of German technical inspection associations. Herbert Pfennig leads the board while Hermann Stefan Keller chairs the supervisory board. Primary contributors include TÜV SÜD, TÜV NORD, and TÜV Rheinland. The fund holds land investments in Germany that generate inflation-linked ground rents through hereditary building rights. It maintains a global equities portfolio and a private equity book. Geographic exposure centers on Germany with additional allocations across international markets. Assets total 1.078 billion USD. The firm belongs to aba and GDV industry groups and maintains a regulatory relationship with BaFin. A related support fund, AHU, reinsures certain obligations through AHV Pensionskasse. The structure ties directly to the TÜV network of member companies that fund the plan, creating a closed sponsor base uncommon among open pension vehicles.
