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.
From June it will no longer be possible to transfer your accrued pension with the HPF to or from that pension provider in the event of a switch to another pension fund or pension insurer. A condition for value transfer is that the financial situation of both the HPF and the other pension provider is sufficient.
This is only possible if the policy funding ratio of both pension providers is 100% or higher. In May, the policy funding ratio of the HPF dropped to 99.4%. You can currently still request a value transfer to another pension provider, but we can only process it when the policy funding ratio of both the HPF and the other pension provider is 100% or higher again.
If your pension is less than € 497.27 per year (amount 2020), a pension provider may automatically transfer your pension. Also with the current state of the policy funding ratio. The HPF will still do these value transfers.

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.
