The pension fund is managed by a board. The board consists of eight board members, two on behalf of the pensioners. The representatives of pensioners are elected by the pensioners. As of November 1, 2025, there will be a vacancy on behalf of the pensioners on the board, this concerns also the key function holder for risk management.
