Versorgungswerk der Architektenkammer Nordrhein-Westfalen
Founded in 1979, the Versorgungswerk operates as the independent pension institution of the Architektenkammer Nordrhein-Westfalen. It delivers old-age, disability, and survivor benefits exclusively to licensed architects, urban planners, and civil engineers in the state. The fund allocates 4.62 percent to private equity while directing the balance toward real estate. Holdings include a majority position in AIK Immobilien-Investmentgesellschaft, a mixed European portfolio spanning Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Ireland, France, Belgium and Austria. AIK manages eleven open-ended real estate special funds on behalf of the Versorgungswerk and co-shareholders. The organization employs no disclosed headcount figure and maintains no additional offices beyond Düsseldorf. It participates in the Arbeitsgemeinschaft berufsständischer Versorgungseinrichtungen and supports the Stiftung Deutscher Architekten, established in 1985. In 2025 the fund sponsored the Sommerfest der Architektenkammer NRW and addressed investment strategy at the Vertreterversammlung. Governance remains linked to the Architektenkammer Nordrhein-Westfalen, which established the Versorgungswerk as a legally separate entity. This tie supplies the member base and shapes the investment mandate without external LP capital.
