#14 Leaders in Investment podcast: Conversation with Günther Schiendl, Chair and Chief Executive Officer of Austria’s VBV Pensionskasse

Liam Kennedy interviews Günther Schiendl, Chair and Chief Executive Officer of Austria’s VBV Pensionskasse, discussing the fund’s asset allocation, the overall regulatory environment and why they are prioritising investments in private markets and European sustainable infrastructure.

“We are seeing things not every 20 years or 30 years but every handful of years. I think one of the most challenging situations was in April, May 2020 at the height of the Corona crisis, the deep plunge in equity prices, the big crisis all over the world. All our risk limits were flashing red. ”
