Ensuring all participants will have an adequate pension when they retire. The transition to the new pension rules should be executed in a fair (balanced) manner. It is important that the entire transition is explained thoroughly to all participants, so they know what to expect.
CDC message to participants
As a young member of the pension fund's board, I am well aware of the importance of starting to build up a good pension long before you retire. Given that pension is an important part of your financial future, being aware of your pension situation ahead of time is essential. Our pension fund is committed to managing your pension as effectively as possible. We invest your pension money in a responsible manner and ensure you can save for your pension in a safe and stable manner. In addition, you can also take action yourself to ensure your pension is in good order. For instance, by regularly checking your pension summaries, increasing your pension contributions or setting aside private pension savings. We advise you to regularly consult My Pension or www.mijnpensioenoverzicht.nl.
