Kantonale Pensionskasse Solothurn

Kantonale Pensionskasse Solothurn

Kantonale Pensionskasse Solothurn was established in 1957. It functions as the occupational pension provider for public-sector workers and affiliated entities in the canton. Emmanuel Ullmann holds the role of Managing Director while Markus Jordi chairs the board. The fund deploys capital across listed Swiss equities, infrastructure, and direct real estate. Confirmed positions include long holdings in Nestlé, Novartis, Roche, and UBS. Private commitments run through UBS Clean Energy Infrastructure Switzerland, IST3 Private Equity, and Avadis Vorsorge. Geographic exposure centers on Switzerland with additional infrastructure reach into global assets. Real-estate activity includes active developments at Bern Morillonstrasse, Solothurn Oetterli-Areal, and Gerlafingen Sackmoos. The organization employs 30 professionals at its Solothurn headquarters. An infrastructure sleeve valued at CHF 600 million supports energy generation and supply assets. Memberships include Ethos Engagement Pool since 2014, IIGCC, Nature Action 100, SVVK-ASIR, and OMFIF. Service providers comprise UBS Switzerland as global custodian and Ethos Services for engagement. The fund maintains a public-law structure that separates its mandate from private family offices or commercial asset managers. Board representation on external vehicles such as IST Investmentstiftung provides direct oversight of private-equity allocations. This architecture ties investment decisions to statutory pension obligations rather than discretionary wealth mandates.
