Baker McKenzie advised SFP Investment Foundation in establishing a new, single-investor investment group for COPRE which will be managed by SFP Investment Foundation. COPRE transferred its real estate portfolio with a net worth of approximately CHF 1 billion in January 2026. This deal marks one of the most significant real estate transactions in the occupational pension sector in recent years and emphasizes the importance of professional, sustainable approaches for the Swiss pension fund market.
With this move, COPRE, one of the largest Swiss joint pension foundations, is entrusting its real estate assets to Swiss Finance & Property Group. The contributed portfolio consists of around 70 predominantly residential properties in 16 cantons across Switzerland. Swiss Finance & Property Group thereby strengthens its position as one of Switzerland’s leading independent real estate asset managers.
Baker McKenzie advised SFP Investment Foundation on all legal and tax aspects of the transaction and COPRE on the tax aspects of the transaction.
