Rivora Collective Foundation

Rivora is a Swiss collective foundation ('Sammelstiftung'), a semi-autonomous pension fund vehicle that allows multiple unrelated employers to participate. It succeeded the former Rieter Pension Fund in 2017 and now serves at least two major industrial sponsors — Rieter Holding AG and Autoneum Holding Ltd — alongside potentially other affiliated firms.

Karin Salomon is the Head of Asset Management & Investment and chairs the Investment Committee. The Board of Trustees, led by President Thomas Anwander, holds ultimate fiduciary responsibility for the foundation's overall strategy. Amet Bekiri serves as the Managing Director for day-to-day operations as of November 2024.

Rivora maintains a direct residential real estate portfolio in Switzerland. Known holdings include properties in Winterthur, such as the Schlosstalstrasse 38b-e building. The preference for direct ownership reflects a common strategy among Swiss pension funds seeking tangible, yield-generating assets to match domestic liabilities.

The foundation allocates a portion of its portfolio to Insurance Linked Securities (ILS), a niche fixed-income strategy involving catastrophe bonds and related instruments. This allocation provides returns largely uncorrelated with traditional equity and bond markets, serving as a diversifier within the broader portfolio.

Rivora is a member of the Klima-Allianz (Climate Alliance), a Swiss professional network dedicated to decarbonizing real estate portfolios and investment holdings. This affiliation signals a commitment to reducing the carbon footprint of its direct property assets and aligning broader investment policy with climate considerations, though specific exclusion or integration frameworks are not publicly detailed.
