On 1 July 2026, the term of the two board members who represent people receiving a pension will expire. This was already mentioned in the previous newsletter. These two members have since been nominated again. No other candidates have come forward. They have therefore been automatically re-elected.
Did you receive a PME pension in 2025? Then we have increased your pension by 2.82 percent as from 1 January. This increase has been included in the specification. Would you like to know more? You can read all about your pension in 2026 on the website.
On 10 December, we organised a webinar. In it, we discussed increasing the pensions by 2.82 percent. We also talked about the transition to the new rules and what they mean for you. If you were unable to attend, or if you want to watch the webinar with subtitles, you can find the webinar on our website.
What do you actually think of the way PME invests? We have looked into this. Many people indicated that a good balance between social contribution and investment return is important, both now and in the long term. PME must keep away from investing in gambling, fur and tobacco. A growing number of people are positive about investing in defence.
Our coverage ratio increased in the fourth quarter of 2025. The coverage ratio indicates whether we have enough cash to pay every pension, now and in the future. The coverage ratio is also important when switching to the new rules, because it determines whether we can give something extra at that time and if so, how much.
