In Episode #10 of IPE’s Leaders in Investment podcast series, IPE Editorial Director Liam Kennedy interviews professor Dirk Schoenmaker, Investment Committee Chair, PFZW.

‘Let’s face the music – a large part of the economy still has to go through the transition, and we want to help them out.’

Noted finance professor Dirk Schoenmaker and longtime leader in the Netherlands’ financial sector chairs the investment committee of PFZW, the €225bn Dutch pension for the care and welfare sector, which has more than three million active and retired members. He reflects on the fund’s bold decision to move to an impact investment strategy across all asset classes, how the fund has communicated this with all its stakeholders and his belief that a positive impact can future-proof a pension’s business model.
