Medpension
Medpension was founded in 1986 to serve the retirement needs of medical service providers and related professionals in Switzerland. Its client base remains limited to self-employed physicians, doctors, academics and staff of the VSAO association. The fund pursues private equity exposure through co-investments, buyouts and fund-of-funds commitments. Current private equity allocation stands at 4.65 percent against a 5 percent target. Confirmed strategies include direct co-investments alongside external managers and commitments to buyout and multi-manager vehicles. Primary deployment occurs in Europe, with additional activity in North America and Asia. Total assets equal 5.504 billion USD according to internal records. The organization operates from a single office in Berne and maintains no disclosed additional locations or adjacent philanthropic vehicles. No operational events from the last 24 months appear in available records. Medpension functions as a sector-specific pension fund rather than a diversified institutional investor. Its mandate restricts participation to the medical professional community, creating a closed client pool that shapes capital deployment and governance.
