In the run-up to the new pension plan, the pension fund surveyed how you feel about investment risks. Board member Paul van Bree explains how the fund used the outcomes.

On March 28, we hosted webinars on the most important changes in the new pension plan (in Dutch). The recordings as well as an English version of the presentation for ARP/ASP members and a Q&A document are now up on MyMarsPension.

Mars and the Works Council have made agreements with each other about a new pension plan. These are laid out in a Transition Plan.

We are hosting a webinar on Friday, March 28, to take you through the most important changes in the new pension plan – in Dutch only.

Mars and the Works Council have made agreements with each other about a new pension plan. These are laid out in a transition plan, which will be posted on the website in mid-February.

Talking is Fred Nieuwland, chairman of the Mars Pension Fund board: “Currently, all parties are working on the transition plan, which should be completed by the end of the year.”

In the new pension plan, you build personal pension assets together with the pension fund. In this blog we tell you which choices you can already make. This will give you better insight into your expected pension.

The pension fund invests the contributions of the participants collectively. This blog post explains how this works and why we do it this way.

Your pension plan will change due to new government rules. Based on the new rules, the social partners (Mars and the Works Councils) make agreements about the new pension plan. Associations of pensioners and associations of deferred members have a legal right to be heard (hoorrecht) so that they can make their voices heard

Contributions are paid every period to accrue your pension. That money is not kept in a savings account, but is invested by Mars Pension Fund. And that's a good thing. Board member Rianne Steenbergen explains why.
