Met zoโn 175 professionals uit de pensioenwereld, was het AFM-pensioenevent op 4 juni afgeladen vol. Uit de enquรชte achteraf bleek dat een ruime meerderheid van de deelnemers tevreden was over het event. Enkelen stoorden zich aan de discussie tussen de AFM en de Pensioenfederatie bij de break-outsessie over kostentransparantie.
Waarover maken pensioenspecialisten zich concreet druk in de pensioentransitie? En welke tip hebben ze voor de AFM? In deze interviewserie stellen we drie vaste vragen aan een pensioenprominent. Vandaag Jeroen Steenvoorden, ombudsman pensioenen: โEen goede toezichthouder is soepel op het moment dat iets goed gaat, en streng als het minder goed gaat.โ
Aflevering 8 van de AFM-pensioenpodcast 'Toezicht aan tafel' gaat over het opheffen van de leenrestrictie en transparant communiceren daarover naar je deelnemers. Verder aandacht voor fouten in digitale tools voor keuzebegeleiding. De luisteraarsvraag is dit keer van Jeroen Steenvoorden, de ombudsman pensioenen.
Veel pensioenuitvoerders gebruiken online tools voor keuzebegeleiding. Een aantal van die tools hebben we grondig geanalyseerd. In te veel gevallen stuitten we daarbij op fouten.

Waarover maken pensioenspecialisten zich concreet druk in de pensioentransitie? En welke tip hebben ze voor de AFM? In deze interviewserie stellen we drie vaste vragen aan een pensioenprominent. Vandaag Elske Heringa, onder andere vicevoorzitter van Bedrijfstakpensioenfonds Levensmiddelen: De overgang naar het nieuwe stelsel is een mooi moment om te kijken naar meer diversiteit en inclusie in pensioenfondsbesturen.โ
Het partnerpensioen is in het nieuwe stelsel standaard op risicobasis geregeld. Bij slechts een klein gedeelte van de actieve deelnemers die in 2024 overgingen naar het nieuwe stelsel, blijkt de dekking van het partnerpensioen dicht bij het maximum van 50 procent van het pensioengevend salaris, blijkt uit โSector in beeld pensioenen 2026โ. Goed nieuws is dat het aandeel deelnemers met partnerpensioendekking in premieregelingen toeneemt.
Van de eerste groep actieve deelnemers die overging naar het nieuwe pensioenstelsel (allemaal bij verzekeraars en ppiโs) blijkt een substantieel deel beperkt pensioen op te bouwen. Dat is een van de bevindingen in โSector in beeld pensioenen 2026โ, dat we vorige week publiceerden.
