Investment policy

The objective of investing STIP's capital is to secure the pension entitlements of the participants. The board strives for acceptable risks and sufficient returns and monitors whether STIP’s capital is being invested in a solid way.

Asset management of STIP
Asset management is performed externally by Aegon Asset Management and Northern Trust. The board’s investment committee is responsible for preparing and monitoring the investment policy. Once every 3 years the board carries out an ALM study to formulate the future strategic investment policy.

Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR)
As of 10 March 2021 pension funds must comply with European regulation with information obligations about sustainable investments. The pension fund takes into account the most important adverse effects of investment decisions on sustainability factors within the meaning of Article 4 SFDR. For more information, please read these documents: the PAI-statement (pdf) and the Precontractual sustainability information (pdf) (both only available in Dutch).

Transparency of remuneration policy
Article 5 SFDR requires transparency of the remuneration policy with regard to the integration of sustainability risks. The pension fund's remuneration policy does not take into account the integration of sustainability risks. Pursuant to the Pension Act and related regulations, the pension fund pursues a remuneration policy that does not encourage taking more risks than is acceptable for the pension fund. There are no performance-related rewards awarded by the pension fund.
