Fondation Interprofessionnelle Sanitaire de Prévoyance (FISP)
Founded to serve the interprofessional healthcare community, the Fondation Interprofessionnelle Sanitaire de Prévoyance (FISP) operates as a semi-autonomous collective foundation under Swiss pension law. The foundation's board sets a conservative, long-dated investment policy typical of Swiss second-pillar institutions, with Jean-Paul Guyon as Director and Olivier Oguey as Vice-President of the Foundation Board. FISP's strategy divides across three real-asset buckets. Direct Swiss real estate holdings include mixed-use properties, while indirect Swiss and indirect foreign real estate vehicles provide broader geographic exposure. The infrastructure allocation runs through the Swiss Institutional Consortium, a club-like vehicle where FISP co-invests alongside Retraites Populaires and La Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ). This consortium structure gives FISP access to infrastructure deal flow — direct co-investments and fund commitments — that a standalone Swiss pension fund of its scale would struggle to originate independently. FISP participates actively in Swiss pension industry governance. The foundation is a member of ASIP (Association Suisse des Institutions de Prévoyance), the sector's main professional body. It also joined the Climate Alliance (Klima-Allianz), aligning its portfolio construction with Switzerland's climate-compatible investment standards for institutional asset owners. Through L'AGEFI's Global Invest Club, FISP's investment team participates in the peer-exchange networks that shape Swiss institutional allocator practice. FISP's structural distinction lies in its dual-track deployment model: direct ownership of Swiss real assets alongside a pooled club-consortium approach for infrastructure. This architecture allows the foundation to combine the control and yield of direct property management with the diversification and scale benefits of pooled infrastructure investment — a balance that many Swiss pension funds seek but few achieve without the consortium sponsorship that FISP maintains.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at FISP?
Jean-Paul Guyon serves as Director of FISP, and Olivier Oguey is Vice-President of the Foundation Board. The board-level governance is typical of Swiss collective foundations, where a professional board oversees strategic asset allocation and manager selection rather than delegating to a standalone CIO.
How does FISP access infrastructure investments?
FISP participates in the Swiss Institutional Consortium, a co-investment vehicle that pools commitments from multiple Swiss pension funds. The consortium partners with institutional investors including La Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ) and fellow Swiss member Retraites Populaires, giving FISP access to direct and fund-based infrastructure deals.
What is FISP's real estate investment approach?
FISP divides its real estate book into three categories: direct Swiss real estate holdings comprising mixed-use properties, indirect Swiss real estate vehicles, and indirect foreign real estate holdings for global diversification. This layered approach balances direct control over domestic assets with professional fund management for international exposure.
Is FISP a single-family office or a pension fund?
FISP is a Swiss collective pension foundation (Sammelstiftung), not a family office. It operates as a second-pillar occupational pension scheme under Swiss federal law (BVG/LPP), specifically serving healthcare sector workers through a hybrid defined-benefit/defined-contribution and cash-balance structure.
What is FISP's relationship to CDPQ?
CDPQ (La Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec) is a co-investment partner in the Swiss Institutional Consortium, not a parent or affiliate. FISP and CDPQ invest alongside each other in infrastructure assets through this consortium structure, giving FISP exposure to deals sourced and underwritten by CDPQ's global infrastructure team.
What industry bodies does FISP participate in?
FISP is a member of ASIP (Association Suisse des Institutions de Prévoyance), the primary Swiss pension fund industry association. It has also joined the Climate Alliance (Klima-Allianz), a Swiss coalition promoting climate-compatible investment practices, and participates in L'AGEFI's Global Invest Club for institutional investor networking.
Does FISP make direct private equity investments?
Based on available information, FISP's disclosed alternative investments focus on real estate and infrastructure. Direct Swiss real estate ownership forms a core part of the portfolio, while infrastructure exposure flows through the consortium partnership. No direct private equity positions are publicly disclosed.
