Retirement solutions designed for today’s world

Empowering Retirees

Velnyth Foundation has delivered investment solutions across the retirement ecosystem for more than three decades.
Our private markets strategies have helped generate strong risk-adjusted returns and diversified outcomes for millions of pension plan participants. Through our integrated platform, Velnyth partners with institutions, fiduciaries, and plan sponsors to provide guaranteed income solutions and help enhance long-term retirement security.

As global populations age and public markets become increasingly concentrated, Velnyth Foundation is introducing innovative retirement products that combine private markets exposure with guaranteed income structures — delivering differentiated value to institutions, fiduciaries, and the retirees they serve.

A Shifting Landscape

We believe the time-tested diversification, return-generation and security of private markets and guaranteed income are well-positioned to support long-term outcomes across the retirement ecosystem.
