Volkswagen Pension Trust

Volkswagen Pension Trust

Volkswagen Pension Trust was established in 2001 by Volkswagen AG to deliver supplementary retirement benefits through a dedicated Pensionsfonds structure. The fund operates under the oversight of board members including Albrecht Möhle and maintains close ties to the parent company for asset sourcing. The trust deploys capital into infrastructure limited partnerships, industrial real property liens and select debt instruments issued by Volkswagen Group entities. Confirmed holdings include stakes of more than 25 percent in Allianz Global Diversified Infrastructure Equity Fund II and indirectly more than 25 percent in Fund III, both Luxembourg-domiciled vehicles. Geographic exposure centers on Germany and Luxembourg. Assets total $1.8 billion, with major positions in production plant liens valued at €1.3 billion and a Zeitwertfonds of €575 million. The trust works with Alpha Portfolio Advisors, Helaba Invest and State Street. A related foundation, Volkswagen Belegschaftsstiftung, was created in 2011 to support workforce welfare projects in Wolfsburg. The trust functions as an occupational scheme embedded within the Volkswagen Group rather than an independent allocator, which shapes its mandate and access to group-linked assets.
