The contributions for the pension schemes may vary from year to year. The board of the Heineken Pension Fund has determined the premiums for the year 2024.
The table below shows the premium percentages as of January 1, 2024:

The employer pays for the continuation of the pension accrual in the event of total incapacity for work. You don’t contribute to this yourself.
The Accountability Council (AC) at the Heineken Pension Fund consists of representatives of employees, employers and pensioners. Currently there is a vacancy in the AC for a member on behalf of the employees. The vacancy arose because the AC member is nominated as a member of the board of the Heineken Pension Fund. The documentation is in Dutch. Therefore it is important that Dutch can be read/understood.
The 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.
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.
