Press release

At its meeting in November, the Board of Trustees set the interest rates for the coming year. From 1 January 2026 onwards, interest of 7.25% will be paid on retirement assets and supplementary accounts. The interest paid on existing retirement, survivors', disability and children's pensions that were set up before 1 January 2026 will be increased by 1.5%.

A focus on the sustainable investment strategy

The Migros Pension Fund is focussing on sustainable investments. As part of its 2025 investment strategy, a new index favouring companies that actively contribute to sustainable transformation was launched. The changeover was implemented in March 2025 and the pension fund had achieved a performance of 5.7% on total assets by the end of October.

Stable performance despite partial liquidations

Restructuring within the Migros Group resulted in partial liquidations in 2025, which affected approximately 3% of assets. Thanks to healthy returns, total assets nevertheless delivered a positive performance, rising slightly to CHF 29.8 billion by the end of October.

"The Migros Pension Fund is in a very strong financial position. Policyholders and pensioners are now benefiting as a result," says Christoph Ryter, Managing Director of the Migros Pension Fund.
