Private Equity

Invest like the big boys – only easier!

Interested in private equity? With finpension, you gain exclusive access to private market investments – with attractive benefits:

  • From just 1 franc: Private market investments are typically reserved for very wealthy individuals. Not with finpension. With finpension, you can start benefiting from the opportunities of this unique asset class with as little as 1 franc.
  • Lower fund costs: finpension gives you access to the institutional share classes of these funds, which come with lower costs. The management fee is 0.25% (Partners Fund) to 0.45% (Schroders) lower in the institutional class. Additionally, the performance fee for the Partners Fund is 2.5% lower, translating to an extra 0.25% advantage at a 10% performance rate (Schroders has no performance fee).
  • Paperless process: Other providers, such as banks, often require numerous documents and complex forms before granting access to private market investments. With finpension, you can avoid the paperwork. All formal requirements are streamlined, easy to understand, and fully digital.
  • No additional fees: Investing in private market strategies with finpension comes with no extra transaction or custody fees – the fee remains at 0.39%.
Investment strategies

Own strategy for private equity funds

Due to the unique characteristics of private market funds, portfolios with private market strategies function differently from regular portfolios. The following aspects should be considered:

  • Private market funds are always held individually (one fund per investment strategy and portfolio). This is why they are referred to as “100% Private Markets.”
  • Private market funds cannot be added to an individual investment strategy.
  • The investment strategies of portfolios with a private market strategy cannot be changed. If you wish to adjust your asset allocation, you must transfer your assets to another portfolio with a different investment strategy (using the “Withdraw portfolio” function via the context menu / the three dots on the portfolio).
