Our clients include pension funds of various sizes and with varying degrees of autonomy. In addition to approximately 50 company-owned foundations, we manage 35 collective and joint foundations and ten pension funds of public corporations. In addition to registered pension funds, we provide the same level of care to 30 purely supplementary foundations and welfare funds. Our administrative team manages eight pension funds, some of which have challenging plans (e.g., defined benefit plans, elective pension plans, and foremen's pension plans). We also support and advise pension funds, companies, and municipalities on projects we have supported and continue to support (employers in restructuring their pension plans, training courses and seminars, second opinions, management information systems, budgeting tools, etc.).
