In this episode of IPE’s Leaders in Investment, Harold Clijsen, CEO and Anne Kock, Investment Committee Chair and Trustee of Pensioenfonds PGB talk about how they make investment decisions for the fund, a conglomerate of 16 pension fund sector clients serving more than 4,000 companies for upward of 450,000 employees.

They discuss their fund’s shift toward more illiquid  assets, incorporating an impact framework; methods used to gather members’ perspectives and incorporate them into investment decisions; their operational and technical plans for moving into the new Dutch pension system and how PGB’s board and executive management have evolved their working relationship, and how they divide responsibilities.

“The times are changing and we need fresh ideas to accommodate this and to stay flexible.”

In this podcast series from IPE and IPE Real Assets, members of our editorial team speak to leading figures in the institutional investor community to curate a library of in-depth, focused content. 

Conversations with chief investment officers and other asset-owner leaders will range across beliefs, objectives, investment philosophy, strategy and outlook. Engaging with asset owners both in Europe and beyond, this series will provide unique access to the thinking that guides their decisions.
