Achmea consolidates pension advisory services within investment arm

Achmea is consolidating its pension expertise by transferring actuarial, governance, and legal advisory services from Achmea Pensioenservices to Achmea Investment Management, effective April 1, 2026. The move allows pension funds to access multiple services through a single provider.

The decision comes as the Dutch pension market undergoes structural changes driven by the Future Pensions Act, which is expected to reduce the number of service providers and push consolidation toward larger players. Pension funds are increasingly facing strategic decisions around governance, asset allocation, and execution.

By integrating advisory capabilities with fiduciary and investment management, Achmea aims to position its investment arm as a more comprehensive partner to pension funds. The combined offering is designed to address growing demand for integrated solutions in a more complex regulatory and operating environment.

Approximately 50 employees will transfer as part of the shift, strengthening Achmea Investment Management’s advisory and execution capabilities.

Achmea Investment Management oversees €227 billion in assets and provides investment solutions to pension funds and institutional clients.
