Integral Stiftung

Integral Stiftung

Integral Stiftung was established in 1978 in Thusis by Alfons Heusser as a collective foundation serving small and medium-sized enterprises. Thomas Marthaler chairs the foundation board while Dr. iur. Simone Piali acts as CEO. The structure operates under Swiss pension regulations and participates in the ASIP and Swiss Sustainable Finance networks. The foundation allocates across Swiss residential real estate held directly, a mortgage book, listed Swiss and international equities, infrastructure vehicles, and precious metals. Confirmed positions include a Swiss equities mandate valued near 710 million CHF managed by Albin Kistler and St. Galler Kantonalbank plus an international equities mandate of 415 million CHF run by Vontobel. Geographic reach centers on Switzerland for property and mortgages with supplementary infrastructure and equity exposure outside the country. Recent increases in the direct real estate quota reflect a focus on stable rental income. Ten professionals operate from the Chur headquarters. Service providers include St. Galler Kantonalbank as global custodian, Albin Kistler and Vontobel as asset managers, Prevanto as investment controller since 2024, and PwC as statutory auditor. The foundation sponsored the Integral Delegiertenversammlung in June 2024 to address board elections and strategic updates. The collective foundation model separates occupational pension administration from any single family or corporate sponsor, allowing multiple SMEs to pool assets under one regulated vehicle while maintaining independent governance through elected board members and external advisors.
