At the end of 2017, the policy funding ratio was above the required equity of 131.9%. As a result, Mars Pensioenfonds was finally out of recovery. As of 1 January 2018, we were able to increase the pensions in payment with a partial supplement. If the policy funding ratio remains above the required level, we can grant a full supplement as of 1 January 2019.

If you participate in the MUP/MSP scheme, you opt for a fixed or a variable pension on your retirement date. A new feature is that you can make a provisional choice for the capital in the MSP scheme from the age of 55. You then choose whether you want to align your investments with a fixed or variable pension. In January 2018 there will be a Fixed Life Cycle and a Variable Life Cycle.
