The IFRC does not have capital as defined by IFRS. Accordingly, the IFRC does not have its own transferable financial
instruments, such as equity or debt securities, and the Pension Fund assets do not include any such financial instruments. The
Pension Fund assets also do not include any property occupied or used by the IFRC.
The Pension Fund has its own investment policy. The primary objective is to ensure the security of funds. Other objectives
include ensuring appropriate distribution of risks and obtaining sufficient return on investment to achieve the Pension Fund’s
objectives. The Fund’s assets are managed by investment managers, based on investment rules produced by the Investment
Committee and approved by the Pension Fund Board. These rules are compliant with the requirements of Swiss law.
The retirees’ health insurance scheme and the non-Swiss post-employment benefit arrangements are unfunded and, as such,
do not have any plan assets.
