We invest for the long term

Retirement seems far away for many people. However, retirement is closer than you think. Suppose you get a new job, start living together/marry, have a child, break up or unexpectedly have to deal with a death in your family. These life events can have direct consequences for your pension and also for your partner’s income. Retirement is therefore important throughout your whole life. Wijzer in Geldzaken (Money Wise) has an overview on its website containing the most important events. There is also a short animation (only available in Dutch).

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.
