Fondation Interprofessionnelle Sanitaire de Prévoyance (FISP)
The Fondation Interprofessionnelle Sanitaire de Prévoyance (FISP) operates as a dedicated pension vehicle for Switzerland's healthcare professions, structured under the country's compulsory occupational benefits framework. Founded to serve sanitary and medical sector employees, FISP pools retirement assets from an industry that employs a significant share of the Swiss workforce. This sector-specific pension model is a distinct feature of the Swiss second pillar, where professional associations often establish their own foundations — FISP is the healthcare industry's answer to that collective bargaining architecture. FISP deploys capital across a multi-asset portfolio with a pronounced tilt toward real assets. The foundation maintains a direct Swiss real estate portfolio of mixed-use properties alongside indirect domestic and foreign real estate holdings, giving it both operational proximity to local assets and global diversification. Its most distinctive allocation runs through the Swiss Institutional Consortium, a co-investment platform where FISP partners with La Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ) and fellow Swiss institution Retraites Populaires to access infrastructure deals — a structure that lets a mid-sized fund punch above its weight on ticket size and due diligence for large-scale projects. FISP is led by a board that combines pension governance experience with healthcare sector understanding. Director Jean-Paul Guyon provides executive leadership, while Vice-President Olivier Oguey sits on the Foundation Board overseeing fiduciary duties. The foundation participates actively in Swiss pension industry networks including ASIP, the national association of pension institutions, and has aligned its investment practices with climate objectives through membership in the Climate Alliance. L'AGEFI's Global Invest Club provides an additional network layer connecting FISP's investment team with broader institutional capital flows. FISP's structural differentiator is institutional co-investment at a sector-fund scale. By pooling infrastructure commitments inside the Swiss Institutional Consortium alongside a global heavyweight like CDPQ, FISP gains access to direct infrastructure assets that would typically require a far larger internal team and check size — a model that blends the governance requirements of a Swiss pension fund with the execution capabilities of a multi-billion-dollar asset manager. Its real estate approach — maintaining a direct Swiss portfolio while layering indirect domestic and global exposures — creates a three-tier property allocation uncommon among similarly sized funds.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at FISP?
Investment governance sits with the Foundation Board, with Director Jean-Paul Guyon overseeing executive management and Vice-President Olivier Oguey providing board-level fiduciary leadership. Specific investment committee structures are not publicly detailed, but FISP's participation in the Swiss Institutional Consortium suggests a delegation model where co-investment decisions for infrastructure are made in partnership with consortium partners including La Caisse (CDPQ) and Retraites Populaires.
How is FISP related to La Caisse (CDPQ) and Retraites Populaires?
FISP, La Caisse, and Retraites Populaires are co-investment partners within the Swiss Institutional Consortium, a dedicated infrastructure investment platform. The consortium pools institutional capital from Swiss and select international pension investors to access direct infrastructure deals, giving FISP the scale and deal-flow access typically available only to much larger allocators.
Does FISP invest directly in real estate or through funds?
FISP operates a three-tier real estate allocation: a direct Swiss mixed-use portfolio, indirect Swiss holdings, and indirect foreign real estate exposures. The direct Swiss portfolio gives the fund operational control over local properties, while the indirect vehicles provide diversification across geographies and property types without requiring in-house teams in each market.
What is FISP's connection to Swiss healthcare professionals?
FISP is a sector-specific pension foundation established for Switzerland's interprofessional healthcare sector, covering sanitary and medical professions. Under Switzerland's occupational pension system, industry associations can create their own collective foundations — FISP serves as the retirement vehicle for healthcare workers whose employers participate in the foundation, operating under the same second-pillar mandate as larger corporate or multi-employer funds.
How does FISP integrate climate considerations into its portfolio?
FISP is a member of the Climate Alliance (Klima-Allianz), a Swiss coalition focused on climate-compatible investment practices. This signals a portfolio alignment toward climate-conscious asset selection, though specific net-zero targets, exclusion policies, or TCFD-aligned reporting details have not been publicly disclosed by the foundation.
