Your pension increases
PME has increased pensions. As of 1 January 2023, everyone will get 6.2% extra. You have received your higher pension in your account for the first time on 23 January. Want to know more about this increase? Our webinar will answer your key questions.
You will get your pension on the following days
In the coming months, we will pay your pension on the following dates:
- Thursday 23 February 2023
- Thursday 23 March 2023
- Monday 24 April 2023
It depends on your bank whether or not the money is in your account on the same day.
The following overviews are coming soon
You will receive a number of overviews from us in the coming period. We have listed them below.
- Annual statement 2022
In mid-February you will get your annual statement for 2022. You will need it for your tax return.
- Specification
In mid-February, you will also get a specification from us. This shows how much pension you will get every month in 2023. Good to know: a digital version of the specification is already available. Go to www.pmepensioen.nl, click on Log in and go to Documents.
- Annual Pension Statement
In February, you will get your Uniform Pension Statement (UPS). It comprises the key data about your pension in 2022.
PME funding ratio decreased
Our funding ratio decreased in the fourth quarter of 2022. The reason is that we increased pensions. In addition, the financial markets are still unsettled. The funding ratio indicates whether we have enough funds to pay all pensions. Now and in the future.
Major step toward new pension system
The House of Representatives supports the new pension system. It said so at the end of last year. Now it is up to the Senate to assess the new system. Is the majority of the Senate in favour of the new rules? Then pension funds will have until 1 January 2027 to switch to the new system. PME's pension scheme will also change. Trade unions and employers will decide on its content. In December, we investigated what people find important for their pension. We will share the results of the survey with you soon.
PME climate plan: there is no Planet B
Just like other pension funds, PME pays most of its pensions from returns on investments. Investing works best in a world that is not warming up any further. In a world where people are not fleeing drought, floods and hunger. In other words: a stable return requires a stable world. PME takes its responsibility in this respect, with ambitious climate targets and clear intermediate steps.
In the next edition of PME Magazine, we will answer questions from readers about our climate plan. Do you have any questions? Then email us at magazine@pmepensioen.nl with 'Reader's question climate plan' in the subject line.
