Apothekerversorgung Berlin
Apothekerversorgung Berlin was created in 1992 by the Apothekerkammer Berlin. It serves members of both the Berlin and Brandenburg pharmacists chambers and operates as a professional pension scheme outside the statutory system. The fund deploys capital across private equity, residential real estate and alternatives that include timber, infrastructure and offshore hedge funds. It holds the Berlin Central Residential Portfolio of approximately 200 apartments and routes private-equity exposure through FERI Trust GmbH. Geographic reach covers Germany for property and extends globally for alternatives and private equity. Assets are managed by VGV Verwaltungsgesellschaft für Versorgungswerke mbH since 2002, with additional mandates awarded to FERI Trust GmbH and Wüest Partner in 2021. The firm belongs to ABV, signed the PRI in June 2021 and endorses Eurosif statements. No material operational events have been recorded in the last 24 months. Governance rests with the founding chamber, which appoints the supervisory board and sets the investment framework executed by VGV. This structure separates benefit administration from day-to-day asset management while maintaining direct ownership of the real-estate portfolio.
