Mission and investment organisation
he Management of the pension assets is geared towards achieving an appropriate long-term return for our insureds. In doing so, we consciously take investment risks, that we can and want to bear. Long-term investment income, together with employee and employer contributions, finance the pension fund benefits promised in the regulations. In our activities, we pay attention to a high level of professional competence and robust processes.

Sustainability
Responsible investment
The consideration of sustainability criteria is an important component in the management of investments. Accordingly, comPlan attaches importance to approaching the topic of sustainability holistically. The sustainability efforts support the fulfilment of the legal mandate of the occupational pension scheme to achieve a return in line with the market with an appropriate distribution of risk. comPlan focuses on measures that have a high impact according to current research. In particular, comPlan attaches great importance to direct investments with explicit sustainability objectives and to dialogue with companies (so-called engagement).
