Credit Suisse Investment Foundations About us

General Information on the Foundations

Assets are managed by Credit Suisse Asset Management (Switzerland) Ltd. for most investment groups.

Most of the Board of Trustees is composed of representatives from Swiss pension funds. This ensures that investor interests are protected and that founder Credit Suisse (Switzerland) Ltd. is independent.

There are also several Investment Committees that are likewise primarily composed of external representatives and are tasked with monitoring the implementation and assessment of investment objectives as well as diversification and the risk/return profile of the investment groups.

A unit of Credit Suisse (Switzerland) Ltd. that is separate from Portfolio Management monitors compliance with the investment guidelines on a daily basis.

Alexandrine Kiechler has been the CEO of the Credit Suisse Investment Foundations since 2015 and is actively supported by a team of eight.
