Swiss pension fund GastroSocial has increased its allocation to private markets to 33% as part of a broader strategy shift in response to changing return expectations.
The move reflects a growing trend among institutional investors seeking to diversify their portfolios and enhance returns in a low-yield environment. Private markets investments, including private equity, real estate, and infrastructure, are becoming increasingly attractive to pension funds looking to meet their long-term obligations.
GastroSocial’s decision to raise its private markets allocation demonstrates a commitment to adapting its investment strategy in response to evolving market conditions. The pension fund’s approach is likely to be watched closely by industry peers and investment managers.
