Last week, Pablo Astengo, our Head of Pension Services & Wealth Planning, participated in an engaging panel discussion untitled Sustainable Solutions Week organised by SPHERE Swiss Financial Arena. The panel delved into the pivotal topic of how pension funds can navigate the Swiss Stewardship Code, the associated challenges and benefits, and the journey towards Net Zero goals.   Key insights included:   • The current law allows pension funds to implement ESG wealth management strategies. • Pension fund board members are not investment professionals. • Foundation boards must rely on professional asset managers. • Considering ESG risks is part of the fiduciary duty of pension funds in wealth management. However, it’s essential to always prioritize the primary fiduciary duty of serving the beneficiaries. • Pension fund assets belong to the insured members.   This insightful session underscored the importance of professional guidance and fiduciary responsibility in aligning pension fund strategies with ESG principles. #WealthPlanning #ESG #PensionFunds Cecile Biccari Alexandre Dupuis Jerome Spichiger
