Frequently Asked Questions:
What does CDC mean?
CDC stands for Collective Defined Contribution. The defined, or fixed, contribution is determined for the collective participants. In a CDC pension plan, annual contributions are fixed, while the resulting pension is not. The risk that your pension may ultimately be too low to meet your needs or expectations is your risk. More information about the CDC pension plan is available on this website.
Who bears the risks in the CDC-pension plan?
The employees bear the risks. Contributions may be insufficient and return on investments may be disappointing. This may result in less pension accrual and less indexation, or none at all. Ultimately, your pension may be lower than expected. In the CDC pension plan, this risk has been shifted to you personally. Your pension accrual and the rate of indexation are conditional on NN CDC Pensioenfonds having sufficient financial resources.
Is the CDC pension plan based on a final salary system or an average salary system?
As long as you remain employed by NN Group, the pension base that corresponds to your annual salary accrues pension every year. This is what we call an average salary system. Full accrual of your CDC pension will only be possible if the contribution is sufficient to allow this.
Who pays for the pension contribution?
The employer and the employees pay for the contribution together. Agreements have been made to this effect in the collective labour agreement.
Does the employee pay the same contribution every year?
Your contribution is 6%.
What is the accrual rate applied by NN CDC Pensioenfonds?
As long as the contributions are sufficient, NN CDC Pensioenfonds will ensure that your pension accrues at 1.875% of the pension base per year.
What happens if the contributions are inadequate?
Pension accrual is conditional. If the annual contribution is insufficient, the pension accrual rate will be adjusted downward.
I am an employee of NN IP (Goldman Sachs). Will the transfer of the pension plan to BeFrank on 1 October 2022 have any implications for me ?
No, the transfer will not affect you. At the request of NN IP, you will continue to build up a pension through NN CDC Pensioenfonds for a maximum of 15 months. This means the current pension plan will continue to apply for you.
I am building up a pension at an accrual rate of 1.5% until 1 October 2022. What will happen to the percentage after that date?
The targeted accrual rate will be raised from 1.5% to 1.875% with effect from 1 October 2022. This is because interest rates are rising. In other words, the pension fund aims to build up your pension at a rate of 1.875% per year. However, the pension fund needs to check every year whether this is possible, given the prevailing interest rates.
For the period from 1 October until 31 December 2022, it will be possible. With effect from 30 September, the pension fund will check whether it will be able to realise an accrual rate of 1.875% in 2023 as well.
How much contribution will I need to pay?
Just like now, you will continue to pay a 6% contribution for your pension accrual. Your employer pays 24%. Together, that makes 30%.
