Various specialists have made an important contribution
invalue ag is responsible for the professional concept, development, and operation of pkcockpit. To ensure a consistently high standard of professional expertise and alignment with the practical requirements of pension funds, science, methodology, and the technologies used, it has been supported by the following project partners:
Practice partners
Practice partners are pension funds whose governing bodies recognized the need for a central monitoring and management system. invalue ag created pkcockpit on their initiative and at their request. Practice partners formulate their specific needs, describe and share their initial situation, and are the first users of pkcockpit. In doing so, they make a decisive contribution to implementation and to the development of the main thematic focus areas.
ALSA PK Independent Collective Foundation
"The captain and crew steer their ship through calm, rough, and often stormy waters. For successful navigation, you need the necessary instruments and the key information. This information must be produced and provided quickly, and it must be of high quality. pkcockpit delivers the information required to maintain ALSA PK's high level of security."
Harry Ziltener, Managing Director of ALSA PK
Nest Collective Foundation
"For three years now, Nest's foundation board has been monitoring the development of the collective foundation using a cockpit that is strongly practice-oriented. pkcockpit continues this approach."
Dr. Peter Beriger, Managing Director of the Nest Collective Foundation
Pension Fund of the City of St. Gallen
"A strategic approach clearly leads to greater success. pkcockpit makes an important contribution by helping identify strategic areas for action and derive the necessary measures from them. It is, after all, the foundation board's central task to maintain the fund's balance in order to guarantee the secure payment of pensions."
Rene Menet, Managing Director of the Pension Fund of the City of St. Gallen
Development partners
pkcockpit is based on its own database with a server physically located in St. Gallen, Switzerland. Access to the system is provided exclusively via SSL and a protected web application. Our development partners promote the development of innovative services aligned with the latest technological standards and practical ease of use.

Prof. Dr. Karsten Döhnert,
Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts - Business, Institute of Financial Services Zug IFZ
Prof. Dr. Karsten Dohnert is Head of Studies and university professor at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Institute of Financial Services Zug (IFZ). In this role, he is heavily involved in the design and delivery of the MAS Pension Fund Management program.
"Effective and comprehensive monitoring and management of a pension fund requires a wide variety of information from all areas of the pension institution. Because of the militia system, this information must also be made available to the foundation board in an understandable form. pkcockpit condenses the data available in pension funds into relevant key figures. The flexible selection of data for the management system makes pkcockpit a valuable instrument for foundation board members and also qualifies it as an alert system for management."

Pension Fund Expert CSEP, Allvisa AG
Dr. Christoph Pluss is a partner at Allvisa AG, a member of the Swiss Chamber of Pension Fund Experts, and a lecturer at the professional college for occupational benefits in Olten.
"According to Art. 51a BVG, the foundation board of a pension fund bears responsibility for its overall management. More and more foundation board members are recognizing that the success of this management depends heavily on opportunities and risks being taken into account appropriately in the governing body's decisions. In this context, it can be useful to rely on a risk management system that provides the necessary foundations for those decisions."
