Georg Fischer Pension Fund
Georg Fischer Pension Fund was established in 1802 as the defined contribution scheme for Georg Fischer Ltd and its affiliates. The fund operates solely for the benefit of current and former employees. The pension fund deploys capital across residential real estate, industrial facilities and alternative holdings. Confirmed positions include a 777-unit residential portfolio in Switzerland and a 49 percent stake in the Gonzen iron ore mine held jointly with Sulzer AG. Geographic exposure centers on Switzerland with additional industrial assets in 45 countries. The fund reports 4,124 million USD in assets. It maintains two philanthropic vehicles: the GF Water Foundation, founded in 2002, and the Iron Library Foundation, founded in 1948.

The pension fund sits inside the publicly listed Georg Fischer Ltd corporate structure, with investment decisions executed through external service providers including PwC as auditor and UBS as custodian.
