Annual conference
The event of the year where pension professionals meet and network. The exclusive programme presents the latest trends and developments in the pensions sector.
Awards
In 2024, for the eleventh time, the annual professional awards will be presented to excelers, thought leaders and pioneers in the pension sector. The pensions industry faces challenges. Targeted knowledge sharing and the innovative capacity of the sector have never been more important. And that is exactly what the Pensioen Pro Awards stand for.
Needless to say, it is of the utmost importance that the assessment of the entries is completely objective. All entries are carefully screened by our awards editors and forwarded to the independent expert jury without third-party involvement. Award sponsors therefore have no influence whatsoever on the judging process.
With these professional awards, innovations and best practices are highlighted, parties in the pension field inspire each other and knowledge sharing is stimulated. In an independent, objective manner. And that is what it is all about.
Conference theme:
The transition to the new system in the Future of Pensions Act is a huge undertaking that the industry has yet to see through. At the same time, it is becoming clear that this does not mean our pension system is 'finished': the future is still in transition. What changes can we look forward to - and when?
With topics such as:
Transition:
- The latest insights on thorny questions such as 'How much goes into the solidarity reserve, what distribution rules will we apply, collective or individual benefit phase in the new premium schemes, how will we share risks, how do we cash in? And how do we communicate this clearly and unambiguously?'
- Transition supervision: Transition ftk: what is possible, and what is not? How will the regulator supervise and assess the transition?
- The leading group: first experiences.
- Transition committee: Roos Vermeij, chair of transition committee, on the dilemmas drafting a transition plan.
Investments:
- Age-dependent investment policy in practice.
- Investing for a real pension: will the Netherlands get out of the split in the new system?
- Investing during the transition: considerations.
- Private asset classes in the new system.
The future:
- Will there still be a structural solution for the heavy professions?
- Pension compulsory, or free choice? Future of compulsory pensions.
- More pay-as-you-go, less funded: the pension of the future?
