What has the participants council RBS section done over the past year?
A large part of the work of the participants council has been to assess the overall execution of the merger of the RBS pensionfund with Centraal Beheer APF, which took place on 1 March 2017. But also the issuance of advice on the necessary adjustments to the pension scheme, the articles of association and evaluated how the interest rate risk at Centraal Beheer APF and in particular within our group is covered. The recommendations issued have been considered and implemented to a large extent. The financial position of the RBS section is very strong and the coverage ratio has even slightly improved in 2017. As of February 1, 2018, the policy coverage ratio stands at 153%. As a result, it was again possible to increase the pensions en the pension entitlements with the inflation for 2017.
The focal points for the near future for the participants council for RBS section are largely focused on the further improvement and clarification of the communication of the Centraal Beheer APF to you as a former member and pensioner. We also keep a keen interest on the internal organization of the Centraal Beheer APF and of course on the investments of our pension capital.
