Schindler Pensionskasse
Schindler Pensionskasse was founded in 1958 to deliver occupational pensions for employees of Schindler Holding AG. It operates under Swiss BVG rules and maintains separate foundations that provide supplemental benefits for management and hardship cases. The fund targets a 7 percent private equity allocation and holds both direct and indirect real estate. Direct holdings include the Schindler-Areal Schlieren mixed-use project and the Wohnsiedlung Im Stückler residential estate in Zurich. Indirect exposure runs through funds and investment foundations globally. Additional sleeves cover infrastructure assets such as solar, wind and hydro plants plus a 2 percent commodities allocation and catastrophe bonds. Confirmed limited-partner positions include Digital Transformation Fund II, PineBridge Secondary Partners II and PG Schindler Pensionskasse Private Markets S.C.A. SICAV-RAIF. Assets total 2.75 billion USD. The investment team works with Credit Suisse (now UBS) as global custodian since 1998 and retains HIG Asset Management for direct real estate. The fund maintains membership in ASIP, Swiss Sustainable Finance and Klima-Allianz Schweiz. In 2023 it exercised voting rights at roughly 30 annual general meetings of Swiss listed companies. Governance separates the core pension mandate from affiliated foundations that address supplemental management pensions and employee hardship. This structure channels all investment activity through a single regulated vehicle while preserving distinct philanthropic and supplemental benefit entities.
