Pensionskasse Post
Pensionskasse Post was established in 2002 as the occupational pension provider for Swiss Post AG and its affiliates. The foundation covers active members and retirees under a private-law structure governed by Swiss federal pension statutes. Its board and executive team report directly to the foundation's trustees. The fund deploys capital into Swiss real estate through indirect holdings in Pensimo, Turidomus, Adimora and Assetimmo foundations valued at 3.05 billion USD. It maintains a 1.24 billion USD hydropower loan book and a 740 million USD infrastructure portfolio focused on wind, solar, biomass and hydro assets in Switzerland and Europe. Additional exposures include a 880 million USD Swiss mortgage portfolio via the Finovo platform, a 450 million USD microfinance book in developing markets, and commodity mandates with Gresham and Picard Angst. Public equity positions include Nestlé, Novartis and Zurich Insurance. Geographic reach centers on Switzerland with selected European and global allocations. The organization employs 43 professionals at its Bern headquarters. It maintains mandates with UBS as global custodian, State Street Global Advisors for equities, PIMCO for fixed income and Ethos Services for ESG engagement and proxy voting. In June 2024 the fund participated as a speaker at the Vorsorge-Symposium on pension governance and investment strategy. Pensionskasse Post is a founding member of SVVK-ASIR and participates in the Ethos Engagement Pool and GRESB benchmarking. The foundation's structure ties investment decisions to the specific liability profile of Swiss Post's workforce while maintaining separation from the sponsor's operating balance sheet. This creates a dedicated governance layer that follows ASIP reporting standards and SVVK-ASIR responsible investment guidelines.
