PDN Magazine no. 15 -The power of well balanced decisions

Discover the story behind the decisions

What does a saucepan have to do with your pension? More than you think!

An advantage of the new pension is that the pension fund Board can increase everyone’s pension pot, if the pension fund’s financial position is good enough. But how do you make a decision that’s fair for everyone?

We discussed this with Piet Rennen, Pensioenfonds PDN Board member, whose service record goes back to 2011. He understands better than anyone how complex pension decisions can be. In a place full of stories, he uses a saucepan as a metaphor to talk about the impact of such complicated Board decisions on various groups of members, and about the considerations that play a role in the Board.

Piet: ‘As a pension fund Board, you need to safeguard all shared interests and ensure that everyone is treated fairly.’
