Swisscanto's investment foundations, taken together, are among Switzerland's largest investment foundations.

They are subject to supervision by the Federal Social Insurance Office (FSIO) and, as members of KGAST (Conference of Managing Directors of Investment Foundations), are committed to the high quality standards of that organisation.

Investing in group assets of the investment foundations has many advantages which contribute to the improvement of the pension institution's long-term performance.

Swisscanto Investment Foundation

The Swisscanto Investment Foundation was established in 1973. Its extensive range of successful investment groups is available to tax-exempted Pillar 2 and 3a pension institutions domiciled in Switzerland.

The securities saving programme offered by Swisscanto and the Cantonal Banks gives investors the possibility of indirectly profiting, within the framework of Pillar 3a as well as with their vested benefits credit balances, from the value development of the separate assets in the Swisscanto Investment Foundation.

Swisscanto Investment Foundation Avant

The Swisscanto Investment Foundation Avant was established in 2006. It is exclusively available to Swiss 2nd-pillar pension institutions. Investments in the dividend-bearing papers of American companies are here exempt from US withholding tax.
