The participant of 2050
A new pension system will be rolled out in the upcoming years, regardless of an ever changing labor market. Scarcity in certain sectors, industries dying out, the gap between flex and tenure, more elderly people working longer, migrant workers, job insecurity due to robotization and a shrinking workforce. Under these circumstances, how will the Dutch pension system make it to 2050?

Speaker: Daniël van Vuuren, professor of social security and labor market in Tilburg, also works at SEO and is a member of the State Commission Demographic Developments 2050

Transparency and the impact of cost pressure in DB to DC reforms
Occupational pensions in Europe are under constant change due to demography, financial dynamics, and reform. They have all embarked on separate journeys on the same track, but the success factors are the same. Based on 20 years of experience from Scandinavia, there is one factor that stands out as the most important when transferring from DB to DC – Low costs.
How can pension funds address the need for lower cost through scale, automation, and efficient digital customer service?

Speaker: Peter Roos, Sales & Business Development Executive, Lumera

Presentation
The participant's choice
The Future Pensions Act has been passed by the House of Representatives. The pressure, dilemmas and interests at the board table are increasing. Participants want certainty and clarity. Insurer Lifetri helps pension funds to realize solutions with a large support base. Pension fund Allianz Nederland gave participants the opportunity to choose for themselves: a guaranteed fixed value pension or adding the accrued entitlements to the renewed Allianz DC scheme. The freedom of choice offers a future-proof solution and satisfied participants.

Speakers: Henk Boeve, former Chairman of the Board, Pension Fund Allianz Nederland group & Philippe Wits, CEO, Lifetri

Digital choice guidance: a practical interpretation

Pension administration organizations and self-administering funds are working on system choices for the Wtp. Most parties have already chosen, others are still deliberating. What is the intermediate state of affairs in system land? What principled choices are funds and PUOs making? Where are the main risks and opportunities and will it all work out in time? And what consequences will the participant notice towards and after 1/1/2027? 

Speaker: Arno Ijmker, Partner, Eraneos (formerly Quint)

The WTP includes additional obligations to guide participants in their pension choices. Pension communication and choice guidance can be excellently supported digitally. What are the recent insights in this field and how do you arrive at a practical implementation? But also: what are the wishes and expectations of pension funds themselves?

Speakers: Niels van Maurik, Managing Consultant & Maarten Hundepool, Managing Consultant, Keylane

No later than January 1st, 2027, the Netherlands will switch to new rules for our pensions. To meet this challenging schedule, APG started the transition to the new system several years ago. For example, with a check on the quality of the data in the administration systems and the complexity in the schemes. The world of the future is becoming clearer and the route is well mapped out. What steps will APG take during this transition and what opportunities and challenges does the administrator see?

Income central: the participant's perspective
In the new pension system, the responsibility for retirement lies more with the individual participant.

A look at the online experience lab where Visma Idella is investigating the transition to the new system from the perspective of the participant, together with pension funds.

Speaker: Chris Vrolijk, Productmanager & Renée Bies, Key Account Manager, Visma Idella

The pension sector connects to the Wage Return Chain

Speaker: Henk Joosten, wage tax return chain manager within the partnership between Belastingdienst, UWV and CBS.
