Pension funds; investments before and after consolidation 2008-2016

This table shows the investments of pension funds before and after consolidation of the shares in Dutch investment funds. From 2009 on there is a spectacular growth because of the transformation by various large pension funds of their own investments into shares in investment funds that have been established by the pension funds themselves. As a consequence pension funds invest a far greater part in shares and a far minor part in debt securities such as bonds. Consolidating the shares in Dutch investment funds gives a more balanced picture of the composition of the investments of pension funds.
