Cargill Pensioen

Cargill Pensioen

Cargill Pensioen originated as the dedicated pension arrangement for Cargill B.V. staff in the Netherlands. Bert van der Plas leads the board; Chris Peeperkorn serves as secretary while employed at Cargill B.V.; Raimond Siebesma sits as an additional director. The fund splits assets between a matching portfolio of government bonds, investment-grade credits and mortgages valued near 780 million USD and a return portfolio of equities and alternatives valued near 520 million USD. Private equity exposure runs at 9 percent through vehicles including MN Private Equity Fund 2008. Geographic reach covers Europe and North America via MN-managed equity funds and a Northern Trust developed real estate index holding. MN Services acts as long-term fiduciary and asset manager; Northern Trust provides custody. Board size and professional headcount remain undisclosed. The scheme belongs to the Pensioenfederatie and follows the Code Pensioenfondsen. On 1 January 2026 it completed its transition into the Cargill circle of De Nationale Algemeen Pensioenfonds. MN continues to run the active ownership program covering energy transition, biodiversity and tax transparency. Governance rests with a three-person board that retains policy authority while delegating day-to-day execution and voting to MN and external advisors including ISS and Mercer. The structure separates the sponsoring employer relationship from investment decisions through the DNAPF circle arrangement.
