We understand that the Future Pensions Act brings significant changes for pension funds and that these shifts raise questions about how best to manage the implementation of the pension system.
As a pragmatic Dutch asset manager and insurer with a proven track record, we can assist you throughout the entire process, from making the necessary choices to the actual implementation of the Future Pensions Act. We have all the required knowledge and expertise in-house and are excellently positioned to guide you through the entire transition and beyond.We can assist you with:
The link between asset management, participant administration and communication becomes extra important under the Future Pensions Act. We can offer asset management solutions on a standalone basis, but also in combination with a solution for participant administration with one of our partners. Do you want to place the scheme elsewhere, for example in a PPI or APF? Or do you want to fully transfer the risks to an insurer through a buy-out or reinsurance? We can help with that too.
The role of the fiduciary manager will change under the Future Pensions Act. The fiduciary manager will primarily act as a coordinator and must ensure that there is a clear relationship between the objectives and constraints of the pension fund, the financing structure, the drafting of investment mandates, and the control and reporting of investment execution. We can assist you in all these aspects.
We are a very experienced asset manager with a proven investment approach for both our own insurer balance and the balance of external parties. This can involve a fund solution or a mandate form. Naturally, as an insurer, we have extensive experience in managing liability and cash flow driven investments, including the management of government bonds, corporate bonds, and derivatives. Our ESG equity funds have also proven themselves amply.
We are proud of our operations, in which sustainability plays an important role. We have a progressive policy in the field of socially responsible investing. We can assist pension funds well in both drafting and implementing this policy. Read more about our approach to socially responsible investing.
