November 2,3 and 4 are the 3 Days of Pension. The 3 Days of Pension is an initiative from the Money Wise Platform to promote responsible financial behavior in the Netherlands and to promote financial resilience during retirement. The 3 Days of Pension is for all Dutch citizens. During the 3 Days of Pension, which takes place every year, pension providers, employers and advisers, among others, communicate about pensions. The Heineken Pension Fund is also participating in the 3 Days of Pension. During these three days we will share an animation with you every day.
The animation of day 2 is about the Pension Checker app (IOS of Android). By downloading the Pension Checker app, after logging in via DigiD, you will have access to a brief overview of your financial situation upon retirement. Watch the animation video about the Pension Checker here (unfortunately only available in Dutch).
The Accountability Council (AC) at the Heineken Pension Fund consists of representatives of employees, employers and pensioners. Currently there is a vacancy in the AC for a member on behalf of the employees. The vacancy arose because the AC member is nominated as a member of the board of the Heineken Pension Fund. The documentation is in Dutch. Therefore it is important that Dutch can be read/understood.
The import tariffs announced by the United States caused declines on the stock markets. Many reports about this appeared in the news last week. We can imagine this raises questions.
In 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.
