Publica is a public law collective pension fund of the Swiss Confederation. Publica administers the occupational pensions of more than 67,000 insured employees and 42,000 pension recipients. Among other funds, it manages the pension fund for the ETH domain (EPFL and ETHZ), which has more than 21,000 active insured employees and 6,000 pension recipients.
The pension fund for the ETH domain has its own pension fund regulations and its own parity commission. It is a “wrap-around” pension fund, which means that the interest rate decided by the parity commission applies to both the mandatory and supplementary portions of your total pension assets.
