Profond Collective Foundation maintains its place on the podium in the pension fund comparison conducted by the SonntagsZeitung and Finanz und Wirtschaft. For the fifteenth time, Profond secured the award for the highest interest rate over a period of 10 years (2013-2022 with an interest rate of 3.3%). This result underpins the success of the consistently implemented real value strategy with responsible investing.

The honour for the highest return over 10 years reflects Profond's commitment to providing its policyholders with a stable and profitable second pillar. It reaffirms Profond's resilience and adaptability in an ever-changing economic and regulatory environment. Equally, it recognises the ongoing commitment to sustainable investment. Profond succeeds in generating high returns while maintaining responsible investment practices.

Interest rates speak for themselves: 4 per cent on average - and have done so since 1991

Profond's consistent returns are reflected in an average annual return of 4 percent since its foundation 32 years ago. This also puts Profond well above the market average.

Laurent Schlaefli, Managing Director of Profond, talks in an interview on the occasion of the Pension Fund Study 2023 about the complex challenges facing pension funds today. Despite increased regulatory requirements and the growing complexity of the investment business, Profond succeeds in generating consistently high returns for its policyholders.

Joint and collective institutions like Profond have the significant advantage of not being dependent on a single employer, which reduces the overall risk. Even in a market environment with rising interest rates and increased competition, Profond has been able to convince with a careful and sustainable investment strategy that focuses on real assets.

Sustainability with responsible investing

Winning this award also comes with recognition of Profond's ongoing commitment to sustainable investing. Profond has proven that it is able to generate high returns while pursuing responsible investment practices. This commitment is reflected not only in its recognition in the 2023 Pension Fund Rating but also in the current rating of Klima Allianz Schweiz (German or French).
