About the OPSC
The OPSC consists of a commission appointed by the Federal Council and its own secretariat. The commission sets the strategic direction, while the secretariat is responsible for operational implementation.
Who we are and what we do
As an independent oversight body, the OPSC is not subject to any form of outside direction from the Swiss Parliament or the Federal Council. It ensures the application of consistent supervisory practices within the Swiss occupational pension system. The OPSC is funded entirely through levies and fees.
Organisational structure of the OPSC
Commission
The commission defines the strategic direction that the OPSC will follow and makes policy decisions. It also ensures the consistent enforcement of existing legislation and, where necessary, issues directives and communications specifying the statutory requirements relating to occupational pension provision.
Secretariat
The OPSC secretariat is the commission’s central point of contact for external parties. It is headed by the Director and is divided into five divisions.
