PGGM is a leading pension service provider, blending expert asset management and sustainable investment practices to secure the financial future of millions, while driving positive societal impact.
In the realm of global finance, few institutions embody the blend of responsibility, innovation, and strategic foresight as effectively as PGGM. Based in the Netherlands, PGGM operates not merely as a pension fund manager but as a steward of both financial security and sustainable development.
Investment Management:
At its core, PGGM manages the pension assets of one major client, the Dutch pension fund for healthcare and social workers, PFZW (Pensioenfonds Zorg en Welzijn). With more than 250 billion assets under management, PGGM’s primary mission is to ensure that these assets grow steadily and securely. They achieve this by deploying sophisticated asset management strategies across a diverse array of asset classes, including equities, fixed income, private Equity, real estate, and infrastructure etc.
What sets PGGM apart is its ability to balance risk and return while adhering to a long-term investment horizon, taking a third factor, impact, into account equally. Our approach is not about chasing short-term gains but about building sustainable wealth over decades.
Pension Management
While PGGM’s investment management is focused on a single major client, its role in pension administration extends to multiple clients across different sectors. PGGM is responsible for the meticulous administration of pension plans for various pension funds. This includes ensuring that contributions are accurately tracked, pension entitlements are precisely calculated, and that payments are made reliably.
By leveraging advanced data management systems and ensuring stringent regulatory compliance, PGGM maintains the trust of these diverse clients, securing the financial future of millions of participants. The precision and reliability with which PGGM handles these tasks underscore the importance of robust operational infrastructure in managing large-scale pension funds.

For professionals entering the industry, PGGM represents an exemplary model of how modern financial institutions can operate responsibly and effectively. Its blend of strategic asset management, commitment to ESG principles, and meticulous pension administration across multiple clients makes us a leader in both the Dutch and global financial landscapes.
