The Swiss pension fund uses exchange-traded futures to manage the economic exposure of the portfolio. Under US GAAP, these futures are not carried at fair value as they are settled on a daily basis and are considered brokerage receivables and payables. Consequently, they are excluded from this table. These futures increased/(decreased) the economic exposure to cash and cash equivalents by CHF (59) million and CHF 462 million in 2021 and 2020, respectively, increased the economic exposure to debt securities – corporate bonds by CHF 245 million in 2021 and decreased the economic exposure to equity securities by CHF 186 million and CHF 462 million in 2021 and 2020, respectively.
