We invest for the long term
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.
The pension funds of the Netherlands are telling on Instagram and Facebook about pension accrual in the Netherlands and what the benefits are. Follow the ‘Pensioenfondsen’ accounts there and you will get short, powerful information about some important facts. For example, do you know how many times the pension premium you pay is refunded to you when you retire? Or do you know what happens with the money that pension funds earn on the investments they make? You can read that on the website www.pensioenfondsen.nl, an initiative of the pension funds of the Netherlands.

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.
