Following the expiration of the current term of two board members representing active members, two vacancies for board positions will arise within the board of Mars Pension Fund.

Every month, you receive your pension from Mars Pension Fund on or around the 1st day of the month. Starting in July 2026, we will change the payment date for your pension to the 20th of each month. This change does not mean that you will miss a payment, but that you will receive it later in the same month.

We aim to increase the pensions of the final pay plan every year (indexation). As per January, 1, 2025, the pensions of pensioners and deferred members of the final pay plan will be increased by 2.62%.

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.”

The interest accrual for the ARP plan for the first half of 2025 has been set. For active as well as deferred members this is 1.53% on an annual basis.

Did anything change in your life in the past year? Or are changes coming in 2025? This may have consequences for your pension. With our handy checklist you will know if you need to take action.

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 government has again postponed the introduction of a lump sum from January 2025 to July 1, 2025 at the earliest.
