Overview

The Evangelische Zusatzversorgungskasse (EZVK) is a public-law institution (Anstalt des öffentlichen Rechts) in Darmstadt, founded by two Landeskirchen to run occupational pensions exclusively for employees of the Protestant church and Diakonie. It works only on a funded basis, reported investment assets of about €11.5bn in a March 2024 job advertisement, and invests worldwide in cooperation with external investment companies. Its own site divides investments into fixed income, equities and alternative investments, which it says include real estate, infrastructure projects or private equity.
