At Pensioenfonds PGB you can accrue pension in a defined contribution scheme or in an average salary scheme.
Every month, you pay a contribution for your pension. You do not do this alone. You pay this together with your employer. We use a large part of your contribution for investment. This increases the value of your pension and later, you will receive more pension than the amount you have paid in contributions.

In our second quarterly report of 2023, Chairman of the Board Jochem Dijckmeester says: “The financial position of Pensioenfonds PGB improved again in the second quarter of 2023. We achieved a positive investment result of 4.5% for the first half of the year. The current funding ratio also increased. This is due to good returns on our investments and rising market interest rates.”
On Friday, July 7, the Rutte IV cabinet fell. You may be wondering if this affects your pension, or the implementation of the new pension law. The short answer to that is: no.
It is not yet possible to withdraw part of your pension in one go when you retire (a lump sum). This is possible from 1 July 2024 at the earliest. Minister Schouten sent a letter about this to the Senate and the House of Representatives. It states that the commencement date of the lump sum will be postponed by at least 6 months to 1 July 2024.
