    I don’t think we really have the freedom to choose our own pension funds, do we? Possibly if you’re self-employed.

      I work for a big company, and moved my pension. And I can invest it, in almost whatever I want. And because the yearly fee for the funds i choose is less than what my company payed before. I get payed the difference, which is nice.

        Cool! So how do you do that? If I go to e.g. the ABP site, I see no way to sign up. (Both ABP and BPF Bouw are sector-specifc too, I suppose, maybe that’s the issue? But looking at a more generic pension provider, they mention either being part of HR, or self-employed…)

          Our company doesnt “meddle” in staff’s pensions. The idea is that i know better what fits me then my boss does.

          Next Monday i have talks about my pension, so i can tell you then ;-)
