Pensionskasse der PricewaterhouseCoopers
The Pensionskasse der PricewaterhouseCoopers was established in 1998 to serve the active members and retirees of PwC Switzerland. While closely affiliated with its sponsoring employer, the fund operates under the governance of its own Board of Trustees, led by Sandra Christine Böhm Uglow, with Managing Director Mia Mendez handling day-to-day management. Investment strategy spans direct Swiss real estate holdings and a global private equity allocation. The direct real estate portfolio is concentrated in mixed-use properties within Switzerland, while the private equity mandate extends internationally. The fund does not disclose specific underlying fund commitments or co-investments, but the dual focus on domestic real assets and global private markets reflects a common allocation spine for Swiss pension institutions. The fund's team size and total assets are not publicly disclosed. Its sister entity, Pensionskasse Partner P-Schweiz, separately covers the partners of PwC Switzerland, indicating a bifurcated retirement structure within the same professional-services ecosystem. Mia Mendez also represents the fund on the board of ASIP, the Swiss pension fund association. A structural differentiator is the fund's position within a two-fund architecture: one for general employees and one specifically for partners. This separation, while not uncommon in professional partnerships, shapes the fund's liability profile and peer group, distinguishing it from single-pool corporate pension plans.
