What Pensimo does
Pensimo Management AG is an independent Swiss real estate investment management company headquartered in Zürich, founded in 1940/1942 and operating for over 80 years. It serves primarily Swiss occupational pension funds (Pensionskassen) through four FINMA-regulated investment foundations — Turidomus (large Swiss residential/commercial), Pensimo (mid-sized Swiss residential/commercial), Adimora (affordable housing with rents 15-20% below market), and Testina (global core/core+ and value-add real estate) — plus the SIX Swiss Exchange-listed Swissinvest Real Estate Fund (ISIN CH0026168846) accessible to broader investors.
The platform is vertically integrated across the real estate lifecycle: portfolio and investment management, development and construction management (DCM), and property operations delivered through the wholly-owned Regimo AG subsidiary and its eight regional Regimo companies. Pensimo Fondsleitung AG manages the listed Swissinvest vehicle, while Testina Europa AG operates the global investment mandate. As of 2025, the platform manages CHF 15.7 billion of real estate across 580 properties, 18,820 apartments (70% residential), and 615,000 sqm of commercial space, with 28% CO2 intensity reduction achieved from 2021-2024 and a net-zero target set for 2050.
Pensimo earns revenue through recurring management and fund administration fees on the four foundations and the listed fund, supplemented by property management fees via Regimo and construction oversight fees from DCM. Products carry institutional minimum commitments (Testina Alpha from CHF 50M; Testina Global Core from CHF 1M). Distribution is direct institutional sales to Swiss pension funds, with public-market access via Swissinvest's SIX listing; in 2025 CHF 328 million was distributed to pension funds and CHF 26 million to Swissinvest shareholders. The company is independent, not PE/VC-backed, with no disclosed parent company.
