Most important goal
“I fully support the goals of the pension fund, such as providing a good pension by way of a prudent investment policy and offering participants pension options. And given the current situation, we’re facing plenty of challenges. For instance, developments on the financial markets, low interest rates, the regulatory environment and the new national pension agreement that's due to take effect in 2026. I look forward to contributing to the fund's achievements.”
CDC message
The pension fund will help you make well-informed pension decisions in each phase of your life. That's the promise we make to our participants. Life events such as a new job, ending a relationship or retiring early will have a greater impact on your pension than you're probably aware. To make sure you don’t get caught by surprise, use the support we provide in any of these situations. Just get your phone and call our help desk if you’re worried about something. Or visit the Pension Planner to give you an idea of how much pension you’ll get when you retire and what choices you can make. It's really worth doing.
