Symova

Symova

Symova operates as a collective foundation under Swiss law, serving medium and large companies predominantly in the transport and tourism sectors. The foundation allows affiliated employers — including the Andermatt Swiss Alps Group — to outsource their occupational pension obligations while gaining exposure to a professionally managed institutional portfolio. Marco Cambi has served on both the Foundation Board and Investment Committee since 2018. The portfolio spans at least three asset classes. A direct Swiss real estate portfolio holds mixed-use properties. The foundation also allocates to global infrastructure and private debt. The governance model places investment authority with an investment committee, chaired by Joe Bättig, who also holds leadership roles at Zurich Investment Foundation and Vita Collective Foundation. Symova participates in several investor networks that signal its stewardship posture. The foundation is a member of the Ethos Engagement Pool for shareholder dialogue with Swiss listed companies, the Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change, and the Alliance Climatique Suisse. It is also a signatory to the UNEP Finance Initiative's Global Investor Statement on the Climate Crisis. These memberships frame an engagement and climate-governance approach consistent with broader Swiss institutional practice. The fund's structural differentiator is its sector-specific collective foundation model. Rather than maintaining individual pension schemes, member companies pool assets into a shared vehicle managed under a single investment policy. This architecture gives transport and tourism firms — industries with high labor intensity and cyclical cash flows — a durable pension solution with access to private markets allocations that would be difficult to source independently.
