Reaction to the development of the stock markets
16 April 2025The 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.
There have been some changes in the Board and the Accountability Council.
Leonie Geenen-Van Straaten will leave the HPF board on January 1, 2023 after many years. The HPF thanks her for her efforts all these years. Sebastiaan Berkvens will accompany the board as an observer to fill the vacancy that arises in the future.
Henk Jansen and Laura van Nes have left the AC during the last months. The HPF thanks them for their efforts in recent years. Leen van Paridon and Ton van der Valk have just started at the AC on behalf of the pensioners.

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.
We are expected to implement the new pension scheme from January 1, 2026. We are preparing for this, so that this transition is done carefully. For example, in 2024 we switched to a new pension administration system. In this administration system, we can administer our current and future pension scheme. In short: with this administration system we are ready for the future.
