The independent consulting firm Weibel Hess & Partner AG, in collaboration with the 'SonntagsZeitung', 'Finanz und Wirtschaft', and 'Bilan', has conducted a comprehensive pension fund comparison for the 21st time. Open community and joint foundations as well as 1e-management pension foundations were analyzed and evaluated. Offers collected anonymously were compared among community and joint foundations as well as 1e-management pension foundations, and the best in various categories were awarded.
Allianz Suisse Life Insurance Company Ltd achieved 1st place in the 'Mystery Shopping' category for joint foundations with full insurance. During mystery shopping, offers for an SME and its employees are covertly collected and compared. Once again, Allianz Suisse was able to present the most convincing offer and secure the top spot. The additional accolade of second place in the 'Interest' category underscores the attractiveness of the solutions offered in the second pillar.
In total, 40 open community and joint foundations as well as 1e-management pension foundations were considered in this year's rating. The study is accompanied by an independent advisory board that defines thematic focuses and oversees the implementation and evaluation. To maintain objectivity and independence, the advisory board members rotate regularly.
The 2026 pension fund comparison will be published on June 13, 2026, in 'Finanz und Wirtschaft' and on June 14, 2026, in 'SonntagsZeitung'. A summary will appear on June 24, 2026, in the 'Bilan' magazine for Western Switzerland.
