Your regular pension scheme includes a supplement to the partner’s pension that has commenced. This supplement will change as of January 1, 2022. The supplement to the partner’s pension that commenced ran until the applicable state pension age at the time of granting. However, the partner’s state pension age may be different, as the state pension age is currently increasing. To ensure that the end date of the supplement is in line with the state pension age, the supplement will give a supplement until the actual state pension age from 1 January 2022.
This change will not apply to benefits that commenced before 1 January 2022.
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.
Your pension scheme will change from January 1, 2026. In the coming months, we will explain the new pension scheme to you in small pieces. This time: the change in the way we build up pension.
