Personalvorsorgestiftung Cargologic
Personalvorsorgestiftung Cargologic was founded on December 15, 2003 as the dedicated pension fund for Cargologic AG and its affiliates. Based in Kloten, it operates as a closed foundation under Swiss BVG law providing mandatory and supplementary benefits against old-age, invalidity and death risks. Thomas Gut sits on the board of trustees. The foundation deploys capital predominantly through Swiss investment foundations — vehicles that pool institutional capital for real-asset exposure. Holdings include Proreal (commercial) groups and plus the Adimora Omega residential group. A Swisscanto portfolio fund participation adds diversified market exposure. These structures give the pension scheme access to institutional-grade assets without building direct management capacity. The foundation participates in KGAST, the Swiss association of investment foundation managers, and features annually in the Swisscanto Pension Fund Study benchmarking exercise. In April 2025, sponsoring employer Cargologic AG secured its third-party ground-handling license at Zurich Airport through 2032, reinforcing the long-term employment base that underpins the pension plan. The vehicle's architecture differs from open-market pension funds: members are limited to Cargologic employees, creating a fully aligned governance model where the sponsor's operational health directly dictates contribution strength.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Personalvorsorgestiftung Cargologic?
The Board of Trustees (Stiftungsrat) governs all affairs, including asset allocation. Thomas Gut is a named board member, giving the small foundation a compact governance structure typical of single-sponsor Swiss BVG plans.
How does the foundation deploy its assets?
It invests indirectly through Swiss Anlagestiftungen — pooled investment foundations regulated by KGAST. Known holdings include Turidomus and Adimora real-estate funds plus a Swisscanto portfolio participation, avoiding direct property or manager-selection costs.
Is Personalvorsorgestiftung Cargologic open to external members?
No. It is a closed pension fund serving only employees of Cargologic AG and its affiliates. No external companies or individuals can join.
What real-estate exposure does the foundation hold?
Through Anlagestiftungen, the foundation holds mixed-use (Turidomus Casareal), commercial (Turidomus Proreal), and residential (Adimora Omega) Swiss property, per the Altss research record.
How does the sponsoring company's business affect the pension fund?
Cargologic AG is the dominant freight handler at Zurich Airport. The April 2025 license renewal through 2032 strengthens the contribution base by stabilizing the workforce of approximately 650 employees across roughly 35 functions.
Does the foundation engage in private equity or direct venture investments?
There is no public record of direct private equity or venture investment. Deployment remains focused on Swiss real-estate pools via Anlagestiftungen and diversified fund participations, consistent with a liquidity-conscious closed pension vehicle.
Is there a connection to Swissport International AG?
Swissport is listed as an industry peer and partner in pension fund and logistics collaborations, but holds no governance role in the Personalvorsorgestiftung Cargologic.
