BVV Versicherungsverein des Bankgewerbes
BVV Versicherungsverein des Bankgewerbes operates as a multi-employer defined-contribution pension vehicle for German banks. Marco Herrmann leads the board of management. The plan was established to manage occupational pensions for the banking industry. The portfolio centers on fixed-income instruments including Schuldscheinforderungen and Namensschuldverschreibungen valued at $22.5 billion. An additional $11 billion sits in alternatives that include infrastructure, private equity, and private debt. Confirmed holdings include positions through Antin Infrastructure Partners and Brookfield Asset Management. Exposure spans Germany and broader European markets as well as global private markets. The organization employs no disclosed headcount figure. It owns three operating subsidiaries in Germany. In March 2026 it participated as a speaker at the Institutional Money Kongress in Frankfurt. BVV maintains full ownership of its pension-management and pensionsfonds vehicles, creating a closed operating structure that separates plan administration from external asset managers such as Helaba Invest and Metzler Asset Management.
