Bertrand Mueller on the marriage of pension funds and VCs

With trillions in assets worldwide, pension funds play a dual role, acting as both asset and liability managers, influencing their exposure to venture capital.

In this episode of Capital Conversations, Bertrand Mueller, a founding partner at DAA Capital, uncovers the strategies and dynamics behind this often-overlooked relationship.

We learn how pension funds shape their engagement with venture capital by providing stable, long-term capital, adjusting risk profiles, and seeking diversification within the venture capital landscape.

DAA Capital is a Geneva-based VC. It invests in European companies during the early stages of their growth, particularly those that have developed scalable and proven technologies.

Mueller has extensive experience in engineering, technology fund management, and asset management for pension funds.
