Amsterdam/’s-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands, 29 September 2022

The €8 billion pension fund, assisted by Montae & Partners, carried out a comprehensive and thorough selection process over the past year.

BPF Schilders manages the pensions for employees and employers in the decorating, painting, building finishing, and glazing industry. In total, it oversees the pensions of more than 100,000 members and has assets under management of over €8 billion.

Dick Vis, Employer Chairman of BPF Schilders: ‘After a thorough and careful selection process for a new fiduciary manager, we have decided to select Van Lanschot Kempen. From the very start of the outsourcing process, there was a good professional match between both parties. We came to be impressed by the proactive and innovative approach used by Van Lanschot Kempen, especially as our fund aims to remain a front-runner in sustainability. While the new Dutch pension agreement means that there are challenging times ahead, as a pension fund, we are confident that we have found the right, future-proof partner in Van Lanschot Kempen.'
