De Nederlandsche Bank reported that 34 pension funds had transferred accrued pension rights to the new system by June 30, 2026, four more than at the end of the previous quarter. The funding ratio for funds still operating under the financial assessment framework rose by 6.6 percentage points to 131.4% in the second quarter, partly reflecting higher equity prices. Total pension fund assets stood at EUR 1,720 billion. Of this, EUR 1,131 billion remained with non-transitioned funds, while EUR 589 billion was held by funds operating under the Future of Pensions Act. The policy funding ratio for non-transitioned funds increased from 125.0% to 127.7%. Pension funds may transfer accrued rights until Jan. 1, 2028. De Nederlandsche Bank noted that funds under the new system cannot be assessed through a single funding ratio because their arrangements use personal pension assets, with representative indicators expected to emerge as more data and experience become available.
