Stichting Pensioenfonds Alliance
Stichting Pensioenfonds Alliance operates as the captive pension vehicle for a cluster of Netherlands-based subsidiaries tied to global consumer and pharmaceutical parent companies. The fund serves current and former employees of Nestlé Nederland, Nespresso Nederland, and Galderma Benelux. Governance sits with Chairman G. Griffioen, while C.H.M. Raats leads the Investment Advisory Committee. The fund is a member of the Pensioenfederatie, the Dutch industry body representing pension funds nationally. Investment strategy spans multiple asset classes, confirmed mandates from public record including real estate and venture capital. The fund holds positions in State Street Global Advisors' Global Real Estate Fund, Aberdeen's European Balanced Property Fund, and a Netherlands-focused CBRE Real Estate Fund covering mixed-use assets. On the private side, the fund pursues venture capital exposure through a generalist approach. The venture program does not narrow by stage or sector based on available records. Geographical reach extends across global and European commercial real estate markets, with a home-market overlay through the domestic CBRE mandate. Scale and team metrics remain undisclosed. The fund's governance structure separates board oversight from investment advisory functions, with named individuals holding discrete roles. G. Griffioen chairs the board, while C.H.M. Raats chairs the specialized investment committee. The fund's membership in the Pensioenfederatie places it within the broader Dutch pension reform context, where consolidation and regulatory compliance around the transition to a defined-contribution framework are reshaping small and mid-sized corporate schemes. Unlike independent multi-employer funds or the large Dutch civil-service schemes, Stichting Pensioenfonds Alliance operates as a single-sponsor-affiliated pension fund serving a defined group of corporate entities under the Nestlé and Galderma umbrellas. This captive structure constrains growth — the participant pool is tied to the Dutch workforces of those specific entities — but it also insulates the fund from the competitive dynamics affecting open pension providers in the Netherlands.

Frequently asked questions
Which employers sponsor Stichting Pensioenfonds Alliance?
The fund covers employees of Nestlé Nederland B.V., Nespresso Nederland B.V., and Galderma Benelux B.V. These are Dutch subsidiaries of larger global consumer goods and pharmaceutical groups. The multi-employer sponsorship structure pools assets across related corporate entities under a single pension-fund vehicle.
How is the fund's investment governance structured?
G. Griffioen serves as Chairman of the Board, while C.H.M. Raats chairs a separate Investment Advisory Committee. This bifurcated model separates fiduciary board oversight from specialized investment decision-making. Both individuals are identified in public record as principals of the fund.
What real estate mandates does the fund hold?
Confirmed real estate exposures include State Street Global Advisors' Global Real Estate Fund, Aberdeen's European Balanced Property Fund, and a CBRE Real Estate Fund focused on mixed-use assets in the Netherlands. This mix provides global, pan-European, and domestic Dutch property coverage through institutional fund structures rather than direct property holdings.
Does the fund invest in venture capital directly or through funds?
The fund's venture capital program is classified as a generalist strategy based on available records. Specific fund commitments or direct investments are not publicly disclosed. The approach suggests the fund accesses venture exposure through third-party fund managers rather than building an in-house direct-investment capability, which is consistent with the resourcing profile of a captive corporate pension fund of this scale.
Is Stichting Pensioenfonds Alliance affected by the Dutch pension reform?
As a member of the Pensioenfederatie — the umbrella organization for Dutch pension funds — the fund falls under the regulatory framework transitioning all Dutch pension schemes to a defined-contribution model. The specific implementation timeline and choices made by the fund's board are not publicly available, but the structural changes affecting small-to-mid-sized Dutch corporate pensions apply to this fund.
Does the fund disclose its total assets under management?
No. Stichting Pensioenfonds Alliance does not publicly disclose its AUM. The fund's scale cannot be independently estimated from available records. Its closed participant pool — limited to Dutch employees of three corporate entities — suggests a relatively contained asset base compared to the large Dutch industry-wide pension funds.
What is the fund's relationship to Nestlé's global pension arrangements?
Stichting Pensioenfonds Alliance is a locally regulated Dutch pension vehicle covering only Netherlands-based employees of Nestlé Nederland and related entities. It is not part of a global Nestlé pension pool or cross-border pension vehicle. The fund operates independently under Dutch pension law and governance requirements, separate from Nestlé's pension arrangements in other jurisdictions.
