PKE Pensionskasse Energie

PKE Pensionskasse Energie was founded in 1922 to provide occupational pensions for Swiss energy companies. It operates as a foundation open to affiliated employers and external workers. The structure centers on defined contribution plans with four investment variants. The fund allocates across real estate, private equity, and infrastructure. Direct holdings include approximately 90 Swiss properties with around 2,500 apartments. Indirect real estate exposure reaches collective vehicles in Switzerland and abroad. Confirmed limited partner positions include BlackRock Private Equity Partners, HarbourVest Partners, JP Morgan Asset Management, Swiss Re Private Equity Partners, and the Asian Infrastructure & Related Resources Opportunity Fund II. Geographic reach covers Switzerland and select commitments in the United States and Asia. Assets total $13.44 billion with a staff of 35 professionals based in Zurich. The firm maintains membership in ASIP, the Swiss Pension Fund Association, and participates in the IST3 infrastructure platform. Recent activity includes attendance at the Vorsorge-Symposium 2025 in Zurich. Service providers include KPMG as auditor and UBS as global custodian. PKE maintains a hybrid mandate that combines direct real estate ownership with external manager commitments. Governance ties to founding energy companies such as CKW, EKZ, Alpiq, and Axpo shape board representation and affiliation rules.
