Bayer Corporation
Bayer Corporation operates the pension plan for its U.S. employees. The plan traces its mandate to the parent Bayer AG and focuses on supporting retirement obligations through a mix of public equities and private investments. The plan deploys capital via Leaps by Bayer into venture and growth equity. Positions span healthcare technology, biotechnology and agribusiness. Geographic reach covers the United States and Africa. Specific holdings include Transcarent and Recursion Pharmaceuticals in the U.S. plus Apollo Agriculture in Africa. The plan reports an estimated $4.2 billion under management. It maintains sites in Whippany, New Jersey and St. Louis, Missouri. In February 2024 the Bayer Fund awarded $12.1 million in grants to 2,300 organizations. The pension plan operates as a corporate vehicle rather than an independent family office. Its investment decisions remain integrated with Bayer AG governance and the Leaps by Bayer platform.
