Galenica Caisse de pension

Galenica Caisse de pension was formed in 2001 to deliver retirement, disability, and survivor benefits to staff of its sponsoring employers. Felix Burkhard, former CFO of Galenica AG, leads the foundation board while Daniele Maspero serves as manager. The fund allocates 27 percent of assets to private equity and maintains direct holdings in Swiss residential and office properties. It also invests in quoted real estate funds and maintains exposure to infrastructure, insurance-linked securities, and hedge funds. Geographic reach covers Switzerland for real assets and global markets for private equity and alternative strategies. Ticket sizes for private-market commitments range from 10 million to 20 million USD. Assets total 1.43 billion USD. The fund belongs to the Swiss pension association ASIP and retains Aon Suisse for actuarial services, PPCmetrics for investment control, and T+R AG as auditor. In October 2024 it sponsored the Rencontre des retraités event in Weissenstein. Governance ties the pension fund directly to its corporate sponsor Galenica AG, which supplies both the participant base and board leadership. This structure separates investment decisions from the operating company while aligning long-term liabilities with the sponsor's workforce.
