Positive investment result in the second quarter

Every quarter, we review how our investments have performed. In the second quarter of 2026, we achieved a positive outcome. As a result, the fund’s financial position has improved. 

The results have an impact on members’ pension assets. The impact varies from member to member and depends on, for instance, age, salary and the number of years over which a pension has been built up. 

When will you receive our invoice?

In the months ahead, you will receive our monthly invoice on:

Is one of your employees relocating abroad? 

Please ask that employee to notify the Dutch Register of Non-Residents (RNI) of the relocation. We will then be notified of the new address automatically. This ensures that employees continue to receive important information about their pension whilst abroad. Is one of your employees moving to a country that is not covered by the mandatory membership? This may have implications for the membership of the pension scheme. Check our website to see which countries are subject to this mandatory membership

Here’s what you can share with your employees: pension options

When do your employees wish to stop working? What level of income is appropriate? And what arrangements have been made for partners? On our updated pages about pension options, your employees will find information and questions to help them explore their financial situation.

Your employees will gain an understanding of the options available and the consequences of different choices. This will enable them to prepare well in advance of their retirement date for choices that suit their circumstances. 

Tip: make sure your employees are aware

How we invest for your employees’ pensions

You and your employees pay contributions. We invest this money so that the pension assets can grow. Investments may increase or decrease in value. That is why we invest for the long term. In doing so, we take into account the age of employees and the risks associated with it. Is retirement still a long way off? In that case, we invest in a way that offers greater potential for growth. Is the retirement date approaching? In that case, we will take fewer risks in order to limit significant fluctuations. This is how we tailor the investments to your employees’ stages of life.
