Pension investment the way you want

Choose the strategy that is right for you

You will always be investing your money in a well-diversified model portfolio. Pension investment lets you choose the investment preference that is right for you. Automatic risk reduction means that your risk exposure is automatically and gradually reduced by investing in less high-risk model portfolios as you near the Dutch state pension age (AOW). Or you can decide how much risk you want to take by investing through one of our model portfolios.

At ABN AMRO, we offer you two investment preferences for your pension

Automatic risk reduction

Pension investment with automatic risk reduction

  • Invest in a well-diversified model portfolio 
  • Your portfolio risk is reduced automatically and gradually the closer you get to retirement
  • You can switch to the choose-your-model-portfolio option at any time

Choose your model portfolio

Pension investment with choose-your-model-portfolio option

  • Invest in a well-diversified model portfolio 
  • By selecting one of our model portfolios, you decide how much risk you want to take in your investments
  • You can switch to a different model portfolio or opt for automatic gradual risk reduction at any time

Pension investment with automatic risk reduction

Automatic risk reduction is the investment strategy where you start off in the model portfolio that goes with your age. As soon as you move into another age bracket, you automatically switch to a model portfolio with lower investment risk. This way you gradually reduce the chance of a bad year on the stock markets resulting in your accrued capital shrinking just before you reach the state pension age.

Pension investment with choose-your-model-portfolio option

Choose one of the five model portfolios. Each model portfolio has a different risk profile, going from defensive to very aggressive. Decide for yourself whether and when you want to reduce the risk. Pension investment does not allow you to put together your own portfolio. If you want more risk or the exact opposite, you can switch to another model portfolio at any time.

Change your investment preference whenever you want

You can change investment preferences (automatic risk reduction or choose your model portfolio) at any time. Simply go onto Internet Banking and change your current preference under 'Beleggingsvoorkeur wijzigen' (change investment preference). You could, for example, start off by choosing a model portfolio yourself and later switch to the automatic risk reduction option.

Want to stop investing? You can easily sell your complete investment portfolio. The results of the sell order will automatically be deposited into your pensions savings account.

Which option is right for you?

First carefully think about what you want to achieve and the level of risk you are able and willing to take. How much risk you can take depends on things such as how long you can invest for. If you still have 20 years to put money aside for your top-up pension, a bad stock market year in the early years of your investments is not necessarily a massive problem. After all, you have plenty of time to make up your losses. If you only have five years to go to state pension age, suddenly losing a (large) chunk of your capital because you kept investing with a high level of risk can be very unfortunate.

Get a bonus up to €100

Apart from saving money for your pension, you can also invest money for your pension. Now that’s worth celebrating! Open a pension account before 1 January 2025, deposit €500 into the account and you’ll receive a €50 bonus. If you also choose the pension investment option and place your first investment order, you’ll receive another €50.

If you already have a pension account, you can still get a €50 bonus.

Please note: you could lose part of your initial investment.

Investing involves risks

Pension investing is done with money that you have left over and that fits within your annual space. Investing involves risks. You can lose part of your investment. It is good to be aware of this.
