Prosperita Stiftung für die Berufliche Vorsorge
Prosperita Stiftung für die Berufliche Vorsorge was established in 1999 as an independent pension institution in Bern. It provides defined-contribution occupational plans covering retirement, disability and survivor benefits. The foundation maintains a Christian-ethical investment screen and reports seven staff. The portfolio allocates 7.23 percent to private equity and maintains positions in infrastructure and mortgages. Direct real estate holdings include the headquarters at Länggassstrasse 7, multiple Swiss residential buildings in Aarberg, Olten, Möriken and Winterthur-Wülflingen, plus the Adelboden mixed-use project with 38 serviced apartments and a Coop supermarket. Geographic exposure remains concentrated in Switzerland with smaller global infrastructure and microfinance sleeves. Additional vehicles or philanthropic arms are not disclosed. The most recent documented governance event was the June 2023 Delegiertenversammlung covering investment strategy and sustainability reporting. Service providers include BDO AG as auditor, Vontobel Asset Management as advisor and Ethos Services for engagement. Governance rests with a board chaired by Peter G. Augsburger and an investment committee led by Martin Freiburghaus. The structure operates as a multi-employer pension vehicle rather than a single-family or multi-family office, with decisions shaped by Swiss pension regulations and member association memberships such as ASIP and the Ethos Engagement Pool.
