Taking the lead in transparency: PGGM discloses all investments

From now on, PGGM will disclose all its investments of the pension capital it manages on behalf of Pensioenfonds Zorg en Welzijn.

The investment summaries will be published by the pension fund. PGGM is the first Dutch asset manager to take this major step forward in transparency, in accordance with its publication policy. It has disclosed its investments in listed equities and bonds since 2007.

Else Bos, CEO of PGGM Investments: ‘As an innovative asset manager, we feel it is only right to be as open as possible about all our investments. We want to show that we invest the pension capital of Pensioenfonds Zorg en Welzijn carefully and responsibly, while of course respecting the interests of our business partners.’

PGGM’s publication policy requires it to prepare annual summaries of its investment mandates, its listed and unlisted investments and all the direct and indirect asset managers it works with. Pensioenfonds Zorg en Welzijn will publish the year-end summaries on its website each April. The summaries as at year-end 2007 are available here from today.
