BASF Pensionskasse

BASF Pensionskasse

BASF Pensionskasse functions as the primary pension vehicle for BASF SE employees. Beate Petry holds the dual role of Chairwoman and CEO while also serving as Head of Global Pensions at the sponsor. The fund traces its obligations directly to the chemical group's retirement commitments. Asset deployment spans real estate, infrastructure, private equity, public equities and fixed income. Confirmed holdings include the BASF Corporate Rented Portfolio, a diversified German and European real estate book, infrastructure funds focused on renewables, and commitments to 33 private equity funds via BAA SICAV. Geographic exposure covers Germany, broader Europe and global markets. The fund also maintains an initial loan position of $345 million extended by BASF SE. Total professionals and office locations remain undisclosed. The firm belongs to the aba industry association, where Beate Petry serves as Chairwoman. In May 2024 it participated as a speaker at the aba Annual Conference on occupational pension schemes. In April 2024 it spoke at the Institutional Money Congress in Frankfurt on asset allocation. The fund maintains a 99.93 percent ownership stake in BAA SICAV, a Luxembourg holding company that channels its private equity and other alternative commitments. This ownership structure separates the pension assets from the sponsor while preserving contractual ties through BASF Pensionstreuhand e.V.
