Pensionskasse Stadt Winterthur
Pensionskasse Stadt Winterthur was established in 1911 by the City of Winterthur. It converted to an independent public-law entity in 2014 while retaining its mandate to cover municipal and affiliated employees. The fund pursues a strategy that combines buyouts with fund-of-funds commitments. Holdings include direct mortgage portfolios in Switzerland, mixed-use properties through Anlagestiftung Pensimo Casareal, and international exposure via Swiss Finance & Property funds and Nuveen ELOF II. Geographic reach covers Switzerland and selected global markets. Additional positions appear in Townsend Group International Portfolio and Green Bonds Immobilien. Assets total an estimated 2.6 billion USD. The investment commission is chaired by Marianne Fassbind. The fund maintains memberships in Swiss Sustainable Finance, Klima-Allianz, and ASIP. No additional offices or headcount figures are disclosed. Governance separates the Board of Trustees, chaired by Mattia Mandaglio, from day-to-day management under Stephan Keller. This structure reflects its origin as a municipal pension vehicle rather than a private family office or commercial asset manager.
