CAVEC
CAVEC sits as one of ten autonomous sections within the Caisse Nationale d'Assurance Vieillesse des Professions Libérales (CNAVPL), the umbrella organization for French liberal profession pension funds. It collects contributions from and pays retirement benefits to experts-comptables and commissaires aux comptes nationwide. The fund's governance is overseen by an administrative council drawn from the profession, with Frédéric Rogier serving as president since at least 2020. The professional orders — the Ordre des Experts-Comptables (OEC) and the Compagnie Nationale des Commissaires aux Comptes (CNCC) — remain deeply intertwined with the fund's administration, as their members constitute the mandatory affiliate base. The fund operates a classic defined-benefit liability-driven investment posture, but with a distinctly observable tilt toward direct Parisian commercial property. CAVEC holds at least five identifiable commercial assets in central Paris, concentrated in the 7th, 8th, 16th, and 17th arrondissements — 48 bis rue Fabert serving as headquarters, plus buildings on Avenue de Messine, Rue Ampère, Rue Boissière, and Rue de Londres. Florence Hauducoeur leads the real estate investment strategy as president of the fund's SCI steering committee. Beyond physical property, financial reserves are deployed as placements mobiliers, though specific allocations to equities, fixed income, or private markets are not publicly detailed. The fund maintains cash reserves as trésorerie for benefit outflows. CAVEC also maintains a strategic partnership with Agirc-Arrco, the private-sector supplementary pension administrator, for joint conferences and pension simulation tools. No recent fund-closing or transaction events are on the public record for CAVEC in the last 24 months. Its operating rhythm reflects a statutory administrator collecting mandatory contributions rather than a fundraising asset manager. Structurally, CAVEC differs from independent family offices or open-market asset managers by its compulsory, profession-bound affiliate base. It cannot grow by marketing to new LPs; its contribution base is fixed to the demographic and economic trajectory of French accountancy and audit. That closed-loop structure, paired with direct real estate holdings and administrative integration into the CNAVPL federation, makes it more akin to a sector-specific annuity fund than a discretionary institutional investor.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at CAVEC?
The administrative council, drawn from the profession, governs CAVEC. Frédéric Rogier serves as president. Real estate investment strategy is led by Florence Hauducoeur, who chairs the SCI steering committee. The fund does not operate with a traditional CIO-led investment staff structure typical of US or UK pension funds; instead, its governance blends administrative council oversight with external management of financial assets.
What is CAVEC's relationship to CNAVPL?
CAVEC is one of ten autonomous professional sections that operate under the umbrella of the Caisse Nationale d'Assurance Vieillesse des Professions Libérales (CNAVPL). CNAVPL provides federal coordination, but each section — including CAVEC — manages its own reserves, contributions, and benefits independently for its specific profession (public record).
How does CAVEC allocate its investment reserves?
CAVEC's known allocation is bifurcated: direct Parisian commercial real estate held through at least five identified properties in the 7th, 8th, 16th, and 17th arrondissements, and a financial-reserves portfolio of placements mobiliers. The exact split between property, fixed income, equities, and alternative assets is not publicly disclosed, but the physical-property footprint is disproportionate relative to many peer continental European small pension schemes.
Which professional bodies are linked to CAVEC's governance?
The Ordre des Experts-Comptables (OEC) and the Compagnie Nationale des Commissaires aux Comptes (CNCC) are the two professional orders whose members constitute CAVEC's mandatory affiliate base. Both maintain close operational ties to the fund's administration, as their membership effectively defines the entire contribution and beneficiary pool (public record).
Does CAVEC commit to external funds or invest directly?
CAVEC uses a hybrid model. Its commercial real estate is held directly through a dedicated SCI structure overseen by a steering committee. Its financial reserves are managed externally, though the specific fund managers, mandates, or asset classes beyond general placements mobiliers are not public. There is no evidence of CAVEC operating as a fund-of-funds or making venture capital commitments.
Is CAVEC's portfolio open to co-investment or external LPs?
No. As a compulsory profession-specific pension fund, CAVEC does not solicit external capital. Its reserves are exclusively the accumulated contributions of French chartered accountants and statutory auditors. The fund does not operate a manager-for-hire model, nor does it participate in club deals alongside family offices or other institutional allocators.
What role does Agirc-Arrco play in relation to CAVEC?
Agirc-Arrco is a strategic partner, not a parent entity. CAVEC collaborates with Agirc-Arrco on pension simulation tools and joint conferences, reflecting a shared interest in French retirement-system modernization, but the two remain separate legal and financial entities with distinct reserve pools (public record).
