Appointment Underscores Commitment to Supporting Dutch Pension Funds Migrating to New Pension System

AMSTERDAM--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Northern Trust (Nasdaq: NTRS) announced today that it has been appointed by Dutch pension fund BPF Beton to provide global custody, regulatory reporting, valuation and accounting, and performance analytics.

BPF Beton is the industry pension fund for people working in the concrete products industry in the Netherlands with approximately EUR 1.2 billion (approximately US$1.2 billion) in assets as at 31 December 2024.

Herman Prummel, country head, Netherlands, Northern Trust, said: “We are pleased to be supporting BPF Beton. Northern Trust has been servicing Dutch pension clients for four decades and is a long-term strategic partner to the pensions industry. With our deep local market expertise, global scale, data and technology platform, Northern Trust is committed to the Dutch pensions industry and its evolving needs. This mandate showcases our regional commitment and expertise in ensuring a seamless, efficient transition to the new reporting standards. We look forward to working with BPF Beton and continuing to serve the needs of the Dutch pension fund industry.”

The pension system in the Netherlands is migrating to a defined contribution system, known as the Future of Pensions Act or ‘Wet Toekomst Pensioenen’. BPF Beton sought an asset servicing partner that could help them through the changes brought on by the new legislation.

Govert van der Peijl, president and chairman of BPF Beton, said: “This transition is complex and large scale. We sought a strategic service provider who understands the requirements under the new legislation and who can support us navigate this new landscape. Northern Trust impressed us with their rapid response to the new legislation and their dedication to the Dutch pension fund industry. We are pleased to collaborate with Northern Trust and look forward to their support as our scheme embarks on the next chapter of its journey to deliver the best possible outcomes for our members.”
