A lot will stay the same
- You and your employer will continue to pay money into your pension.
- When you retire, you will still receive your pension every month for the rest of your life. It does not matter how old you become.
- You will still be able to make choices when you retire. For example, you can retire earlier or receive a temporarily higher pension in the first years.
- There will still be a pension for your partner and children if you die.
What will change?
You will get a personal pension pot
We will convert the pension you have accrued with us into an amount. This amount will go into your personal pension pot. The money that you and your employer pay in every month will also go into this pot. We will invest the money from all personal pension pots together.
Your pension will respond more to the economy
This means we will be able to increase your pension faster when the economy is doing well. But if the economy performs less well, we may also reduce your pension.
We will take measures to reduce the chance of reductions
- We will invest with less risk as you get closer to retirement and after you retire.
- If you receive a pension, we will spread investment results over several years. This helps us use good years to absorb the impact of bad years.
- There will be a reserve pot. We can use this to support pension benefits if we would otherwise have to reduce them.
If the economy performs poorly for a long time and there is not enough money in the reserve pot, your pension benefit may become lower.
Partner's pension and orphan's pension: a percentage of your salary
If you die, your partner will receive a partner's pension. Your children will receive an orphan's pension until age 25.
The amount will be a percentage of your salary at the time of your death. It will no longer matter how long you have worked for your employer. You will be insured for a partner's pension and orphan's pension as long as you accrue pension with us.
Have you already accrued a partner's pension with us before the transition to the new rules for pensions? That pension will remain in place.
If you die while you are still accruing pension with us, your partner will receive the partner's pension under the new rules and the partner's pension accrued under the old rules.
