Tellco at the Pension Symposium 2026: recap of an inspiring industry gathering

Two enriching days, many engaging conversations and valuable insights: the Pension Symposium 2026 at Messe Zürich was a great success for Tellco. Together with numerous specialists, decision-makers and industry partners, we had the opportunity to exchange views on current developments and future issues in occupational pensions.

Exchange at the Tellco stand

At our Tellco stand, we welcomed numerous visitors. The focus was on modern pension solutions, investment-related questions and the challenges that pension funds are facing today and will face in the future.

The conversations once again showed just how important personal dialogue is in the 2nd pillar. Topics such as volatile markets and the further development of pension solutions are shaping the industry and call for well-founded exchange.

AI in risk management: autopilot or support?

A particular highlight was the panel discussion in the Arena Uetliberg on the topic “Risk management in investments: autopilot thanks to AI?”. Our expert Markus Schlunegger discussed the opportunities and limitations of artificial intelligence in investment and risk management with Thomas Breitenmoser from Complementa, Raymond Hamersma from Ortec and Marco Bagutti from AEIS. The panel was moderated by Kaspar Hohler.

The discussion made it clear that AI can effectively support investment and risk management. It helps to analyse large volumes of data, identify patterns and prepare sound bases for decision-making. In doing so, it can make processes more efficient and open up new perspectives.

At the same time, it became clear that AI is not a fully fledged autopilot, as responsibility remains with people. Especially in occupational pensions, people are needed to contextualise results, scrutinise them critically and make robust decisions.

Data quality, transparency and clearly defined responsibilities remain essential. AI can provide support, but it does not replace experience or judgement. Particularly in the sensitive environment of the 2nd pillar, responsibility remains with the competent specialists and governing bodies.

New perspectives

For Tellco, the Pension Symposium 2026 was a valuable opportunity to maintain existing contacts, engage in new conversations and take away important insights for the further development of occupational pensions.

A big thank you goes to all visitors who sought dialogue with us at our stand, as well as to vps.epas for organising this successful industry gathering.

We look forward to continuing the dialogue and actively helping to shape the future of occupational pensions.
