Investor Details Founded: 1922
Stichting Pensioenfonds ABP is the pension fund for government and education employees in the Netherlands, offering income security to over 3 million participants upon retirement, in case of work incapacity, and to their surviving dependents. As of 2025, ABP manages assets totaling €532 billion, making it the largest pension fund in the Netherlands and among the five largest globally. The fund's predecessor, the Algemeen Burgerlijk Pensioenfonds, was established in 1922 to regulate pensions for civil servants.
ABP's investment strategy is diversified across various asset classes, including fixed income, equity, real estate, private equity, infrastructure, commodities, hedge funds, and venture capital. The fund focuses on investments that align with its sustainability criteria, aiming to balance financial returns with social responsibility. In October 2025, ABP divested its entire €387 million stake in U.S. construction equipment-maker Caterpillar on ethical grounds, citing concerns over the company's role in conflict zones. This decision reflects ABP's commitment to socially responsible investing.
The fund's governance structure includes a Board of Governors responsible for policy definition and operation of the collective pension scheme. Additionally, the Pension Council, comprising participants, pensioners, and employers, plays a crucial role in the fund's operations. ABP's investment decisions are guided by a policy of engaging with companies to improve ethical practices, with divestment considered if discussions do not lead to desired outcomes. This approach underscores ABP's dedication to responsible investment practices that consider both financial performance and societal impact.
