Previva, Fonds de Prévoyance des Professionnels du Travail Social
Previva functions as the occupational pension vehicle for employees represented by AVOP and AVTES. These associations established the fund to manage retirement assets for professionals in social services. The fund holds a 280 million USD direct real estate portfolio concentrated in the Canton of Vaud and a 3.51 percent stake in bonainvest Holding, a Swiss residential developer. It also maintains long equity positions in Swiss and international markets via the Ethos Engagement Pool, which it joined in 2021. Geographic exposure remains limited to Switzerland and global public markets. Assets total 1.4 billion USD. The fund employs Centre Patronal for administration and PPCmetrics as investment advisor. It participates in the IIGCC and sponsors its annual delegates assembly. Governance ties the fund directly to its founding employer and employee associations, which retain oversight through delegate structures rather than external managers.
