Bavarian Pension Fund Faces Scrutiny Over Investment LossesWed 11th Mar, 2026The Bavarian Pension Chamber, responsible for managing retirement funds for various professional groups including pharmacists, lawyers, and medical practitioners, is currently under increased scrutiny due to significant investment losses. Concerns have escalated following the disclosure of substantial write-downs related to investments in the United States real estate market. These investments represent a portion of the Chamber's broader portfolio, which is valued at approximately 122 billion euros. In response to these developments, a group of insured professionals is calling for an independent audit of the Chamber's investment activities. The situation has drawn parallels with a recent case involving the Berlin Dental Pension Fund, which reportedly suffered losses exceeding one billion euros due to high-risk investments -- nearly half of its total assets.
