February is rightfully the month of love! And yes, this can also affect your retirement. In the weeks surrounding Valentine's Day, we'll take you through this. So you know where you and your loved ones stand. What should you actually do when you get married or start living together? 

The planner for the Associate Retirement Plan (ARP) and Associate Selection Plan (ASP) has been available again in MyMarsPension since February 1.

After working as a temp for a year, I joined Mars as a permanent employee in 1978. In the beginning as a packer. Through internal training I became a process operator. Twelve years later I was elected to participate in the works council. And now I am a director of the Mars Pension Fund.

To find out whether our communication is appreciated by you, it is good to do some research on this. That is why we asked members and pensioners to complete an online survey in June. Overall conclusion: we are on the right track!

... Are you going to work part-time? And what about part-time retirement, anyway?

Price developments may affect the composition of a particular portfolio, as a result of which it may temporarily deviate from the Life Cycle and Free Investment. This is checked once a year and adjusted if necessary. This annual check was performed in July for the Vanguard funds in the Life Cycle and Freely Invested.

As of September 1, 2015, the Mars Pension Fund website will stop supporting the strongly outdated web browser Internet Explorer 8. If you are still surfing the web with a strongly outdated web browser, we advise you to update your browser to the latest version or to install another safe web browser.

When it comes to pensions, the first thing you think about is later. But at Mars Pensioenfonds there is more than an income for later. The pension plan also takes your family situation into account. Your partner will receive a partner's pension if you die and your children will receive an orphan's pension. 

Do you want to know what your financial situation will be like on your retirement date? How much pension and AOW you can expect? And whether that will be enough to live on later? Since recently you can calculate it with the pension dashboard.
