SOKA-DACH

SOKA-DACH

SOKA-DACH was founded in 1960 as a joint institution of the Zentralverband des Deutschen Dachdeckerhandwerks and Industriegewerkschaft Bauen-Agrar-Umwelt. It functions as the central service provider for social security obligations in the roofing sector, handling both training levies and company pension contributions. The fund deploys capital across real estate funds focused on mixed-use properties in Germany and international markets, alongside a portfolio of alternative investments and diversified equity holdings. Positions are held primarily through the ZVK vehicle, which reported total assets of 1.37 billion EUR at the end of 2023, with the smaller ZVW vehicle adding 49.8 million EUR. Geographic exposure centers on Germany with supplementary international allocations. The organization employs 100 staff at its Wiesbaden headquarters and participates in industry networks including the Arbeitsgemeinschaft für kommunale und kirchliche Altersversorgung. It maintains service relationships with PKS Software, SVA System Vertrieb Alexander, and Willis Towers Watson for IT, infrastructure, and actuarial support. SOKA-DACH is structured as a mandatory joint institution under German collective bargaining law, which separates its mandate from discretionary family or corporate offices and ties its governance directly to trade association and union oversight.
