12.6% return achieved in 2024
3 April 2025In 2024, we will have achieved a 12.6% return by investing the pension assets. With this result, we are in the top three of the more than 170 pension funds in the Netherlands that were surveyed by consultants from OverRendement and Bell. Only two other pension funds performed better. IKEA’s pension fund achieved the best return: 13.5%. DHL’s pension fund achieved a 12.9% return. The average return across all pension funds was 8%. Olaf Flippo, director of the Heineken Pension Fund, explains: The fact that we had a good investment year is partly due to the return on shares, which was largely invested in developed countries. The results of alternative credits (these are loans taken out on the private market, especially to companies that are not listed) have also contributed significantly to the good returns.
