Pension knowledge

APG is a large pension provider that is firmly rooted and has many years of experience in the pension sector. We therefore have specialist knowledge about the different areas of pension provision; knowledge pertaining to legislation and regulations, fund management, and pension asset management, administration, and communication. Many of our specialists are authorities in their fields and affiliated as such with universities. They regularly publish articles about current pension-related issues.

We actively share our knowledge with the pension funds for which we work, since we are here to enable those funds to function optimally.
Moreover, APG is well-connected in The Hague and Brussels, which means that we are aware of pertinent developments at an early stage and can therefore inform and prepare pension funds in good time with respect to any necessary adaptations.

'APG is a large pension administrator with its roots in the pension world. This is why we have the necessary knowledge about pension systems, pension administration, communication and asset management. At APG, we advocate, just as our clients do, a collective pension system based on solidarity. This is why we actively share our knowledge and expertise about the advantages of such a system. We do this, for example, by means of presentations and publications, both in the Netherlands and abroad. It is our aim to help realise a good and affordable collective pension system for present and future generations.' Jurre de Haan senior Policy Officer


'Sustainable investing is an integral part of the investment process at APG. As APG is a large investor, we are in a position to exercise influence on the companies in which we invest. We often call companies to account on their behaviour. We regularly discuss sustainability and good corporate governance with legislators and regulatory authorities. In addition, we actively look for attractive investments that promote sustainability. For example, APG is one of the major investors in Europe’s largest on-shore windmill park, the Koegorspolder, in the Netherlands. And in the United States, we invest in systems that can extract gas from waste and burn this in a sustainable manner. These are examples of investments that generate a good return and contribute to a cleaner environment.'


'APG provides customised services. Based on interviews with the client, we draft a communication plan that is tailored to the target group and the pension fund’s objectives. The point of departure is providing the most optimal services to the participants. With the annual Uniform Pension Overview (UPO) but also with a digital newsletter and a virtual assistant on the pension fund’s website. Or with a digital pension file with which the participants can calculate different future scenarios. This actively increases the involvement of participants in their pensions and that also reduces the workload for the pension funds.' Joep Jacobs Marketing Manager
