The supreme body of CPIC

Recruitment of new beneficiaries

Throughout 2025, the Foundation Board continued to focus on strengthening dialogue with the new generation of interpreters to encourage them to join the CPIC. Information sessions, both in person and online, were organised for students at interpreting schools as well as for practising interpreters in the institutional and/or private sectors. The CPIC information brochure has been distributed mainly in digital format. Encouraging results in terms of CPIC membership have been observed in recent years.

New investment structure

The Chairman of the Foundation Board explained the improvements brought about by the new investment structure, which will come into effect on 1 July 2026: two segments – growth and conservative – managed in euros and denominated in both euros and Swiss francs (offering beneficiaries a choice of four options and therefore four unit values).
A detailed circular was sent to all beneficiaries on this subject prior to the General Meeting.

Sustainability Report for the Euro Growth Portfolio

The Chairman of the Foundation Board presented the annual sustainability report on the investment management of the euro growth portfolio (Segment A). The report outlines what has already been achieved in this area and sets out the necessary benchmarks for the continuous improvement of the portfolio’s sustainability.
The additions made to the CPIC’s Sustainable Development Charter were explained: no investment in conventional armaments where these account for more than 10% of a company’s turnover; and, for investments in gold, a preference for certified gold, traceable gold or ethically sourced artisanal gold.
It was also reiterated that sustainability standards are applied whilst respecting the criteria of investment return and security.
Furthermore, the CPIC is actively engaged as a shareholder through the ESG campaigns run by the Ethos Foundation.

The Importance of Regular Savings

The Foundation Board would also like to emphasise the importance of regular savings (contributions from international organisations and/or personal payments) invested over the long term in occupational pension schemes.
Regular saving pays off in the long run at retirement, as demonstrated by the long-term investment example on the website, which can be found here: https://www.cpic.ch/makeup-of-your-retirement-capital/

This message should encourage young performers to join the CPIC from their very first contract.
It is possible to project personal savings using the savings calculator available via this link: https://cpic.gsinfo.ch/cpicform?page=calcul&langue=en

Personal Paiements

The Foundation Board would like to remind beneficiaries that during years in which they do not receive contributions, INCLUDING IN THE EVENT OF A CAREER CHANGE, their CPIC membership remains in force and their capital continues to grow. Beneficiaries may at any time make personal contributions of up to CHF 46,000 or € 46,000 per year to increase their retirement savings.
