In this article you will find information about the pension fund funding ratios in the Netherlands. At the bottom of the page you will find an up-to-date funding ratio list of all Dutch pension funds.
What is a funding ratio?
The funding ratio is the relationship between the total contributed capital (aum: asset under management) of a pension fund and the pension liabilities. In short, it is the ratio between the total available assets and liabilities. The funding ratio formula is as follows:
A funding ratio above 100% means that there are more asset under management then there are pension liabilities. A funding ratio below 100% means that the pension fund is underfunded. In that case the pension fund has not enough assets to meet the current pension obligations.
For example: If a pension fund has € 105 in assets under management and € 100 worth of liabilities. The funding ratio is 105%.
Difference between funding ratio and policy funding ratio
The funding ratio (also known as the monthly funding ratio) is calculated monthly. It is a snapshot of the financial position of the pension fund.
The policy funding ratio is the average funding ratio of the past twelve months. The policy funding ratio is used to determine whether the pensions can be increased (indexation) of should be reduced (cut).
Law
When the policy funding ratio is below the required level, the pension fund must write a recovery plan to return to the required level within 10 years. If this is not possible or if the policy funding ratio is below 105% over 5 years, the pension fund must reduce (cut) its pensions.

The graphs below shows the funding ratio of the top 5 largest pension funds in the Netherlands. The downward trend is mainly caused by a fall of the interest rate. In addition, the corona crisis (March 2020) also had a negative effect on the funding ratio.
