The Netherlands gets a new pension system: Senate votes in favor of new pension act
On Tuesday May 30 2023, a majority of the Senate voted in favor of the Future of Pensions Act. This means that there will now be a definitive new pension system and that HEINEKEN's pension scheme will change in the coming years.
Heineken Pension Fund belongs to top pension funds with the highest returns
In this news item we inform you about the investment result of Heineken Pension Fund in 2022. Research by consultants Bell and OverRendement has shown that our pension fund achieved the best investment result in 2022 of all pension funds in the Netherlands. In 2021 we were also in the top two pension funds with the highest returns.
Survey about risk and your pension completed
There will be new rules for pensions with the new pension system. This means that the Heineken Pension Fund will have to make important choices in the near future. We have therefore conducted a survey into how much risk you want to take with your pension. Many (former) participants and pensioners have completed the survey. Thank you very much for participating in this survey!

Vacancies and changes Accountability Council
Martin Bijnagte unfortunately announced in December that he was leaving the Accountability Council for personal reasons. The Heineken Pension Fund thanks him for his efforts over the past year.
Change in pension regulations
We changed the pension regulations in 2023, because the intended effective date of regulation that introduces a withdrawal of a lump sum is Januari 1, 2024 (in stead of 1 July 2023). Therefore it is not yet possible to withdrawal a lump sum in 2023. We have therefore removed this possibility from the pension regulations.
