UWP Sammelstiftung

UWP Sammelstiftung was formed in 1993 as an independent collective foundation under Swiss pension law. It supplies tailored second-pillar solutions to small and medium-sized companies that lack the scale to operate their own pension plans. The foundation maintains a direct real estate portfolio of more than fifty properties containing approximately 460 apartments, concentrated in Switzerland. Additional holdings include a residential project in Laufen. Five percent of assets is allocated to private equity. Geographic exposure remains almost entirely domestic. Asset management is outsourced to Bank Julius Bär, Vontobel, Basler Kantonalbank and Bank CIC. BERAG provides ongoing administration. No material operational events have been recorded in the last twenty-four months. UWP operates under the oversight of a board of trustees that includes employer and employee representatives, a governance model required by Swiss collective-foundation regulation.
