Stichting Pensioenfonds Autoriteit Financiële Markten
Stichting Pensioenfonds Autoriteit Financiële Markten is the pension fund for employees of the Dutch financial regulator AFM, now in liquidation.
Stichting Pensioenfonds Autoriteit Financiële Markten
The fund was established to administer the pension commitments for staff of the Autoriteit Financiële Markten, the Netherlands' conduct-of-business financial supervisor. Its sponsoring employer is the AFM, represented at the executive level by Chair Laura van Geest and Board Member Jos Heuvelman. The fund maintained its registered office in Amstelveen. Investment assets were managed as a standard Dutch defined-benefit style pension portfolio, with operations conducted domestically. The fund's governance structure positioned it under the regulatory oversight of De Nederlandsche Bank, the Dutch central bank, reflecting its status as a regulated occupational pension scheme. Its real-asset exposure included a commercial office building at Vijzelgracht 50 in Amsterdam, which served as the AFM's headquarters. The fund was an active member of the Pensioenfederatie, the recognized industry association for Dutch pension funds. That affiliation provided a platform for engagement on sector-wide regulatory and investment topics. The fund has since entered liquidation, with its pension obligations and assets transferred or wound down in accordance with Dutch pension law. Structurally, this fund's differentiator was its narrow mandate: serving the workforce of a single financial regulator. Unlike large multi-employer funds, its asset pool reflected the risk profile and human-capital composition of a specialized government-linked institution. The liquidation process itself is the fund's most defining feature, representing a discrete resolution rather than a continuing operation.
