Close Font size: EMPLOYEES RETIREES EMPLOYERS Home Successful information meetings Successful information meetings The second information meeting of 2015 about the BPL pension took place on Wednesday evening 28 January. Despite the winter weather forecast, a large number of participants were present in Zwolle. René le Clercq kicked off this evening on behalf of the board. Just like his fellow director, Gerard Roest, had done in the first meeting, René took up the challenge of taking the audience into the many developments and complex challenges facing the fund. There was good news about the developments in the fund's assets, in short, the investments. Excellent returns have been achieved. But the challenges arising from legislation and regulations and the development of interest rates were also highlighted. The audience responded with good and critical questions about the government's involvement in our BPL pension. René was clear in his answers. Laws and regulations are fixed. Within this, the board does everything to achieve the best possible pension for all participants. This is reflected, for example, in keeping the implementation costs as low as possible. Something the fund has achieved very well in recent years compared to other funds. After René, Robin Bond, one of the BPL pension consultants, took over. He explained the annual Uniform Pension Statement (UPO), which is often perceived as difficult. This explanation touched on the personal pension situation and could therefore count on personal and often sharp questions from the audience. Robin's message to the public was concrete. 'View your UPO and assess your pension every year' and 'Keep your UPO next to your employer's annual statement', because this way you know what to expect and you can also determine whether the statement is correct. This was received in agreement from the audience. "It's actually just like the annual tax return," said one of those present. The evening ended with the opportunity to ask questions to the board and the pension consultants. Judging from the reactions from the audience, this information evening was well appreciated, just like the previous evening. The message to remain critical yourself and to be alert to retirement was also adopted in agreement. Would you like to know more about your pension now?
