7 Investment policy The investment policy of PFZW is focused on the long term. The policy is consistent with the pension fund s objectives and obligations, which are to provide a good and affordable pension. That primarily means it seeks to generate a high infl ation adjusted return over the longer term. PFZW is a relatively young pension fund. Over the next decade pension contributions are expected to exceed pension benefi t payments. The pension fund can therefore afford to take this into account in its asset allocation. The objectives and long investment horizon lead to an investment mix with holdings in investment categories other than fi xed income securities. The 2015 investment plan had 65% of assets allocated to investment categories such as listed equities, private equity, private real estate and infrastructure. The fi xed-income allocation in the 2015 investment plan was 30%. This comprised both ordinary government bonds and infl ation-linked bonds, as well as interest rate and infl ation derivatives. Finally, the allocation to commodities was 5%. The key points of the investment policy are as follows: Diversifi cation of assets across various investment categories PFZW is a long-term investor with a large volume of assets under management. That means the pension fund is able to invest in investment categories that are not accessible to all institutional investors. Better coverage of investment categories Within the various investment categories PFZW analyses which investments fi t in best with its portfolio and investment policy. Taking market conditions into account While investing, market conditions are taken into account if they differ materially from the forecasts on which the policy is based. Risk management Risk management means that risks are clearly identifi ed and are then controlled as effectively as possible at every step of the investment process. Transparency In April 2016 PFZW publishes a list of all investments, together with the mandates given to external asset managers on its website, held on 31 December 2015 in order to give a clear account of its activities and policy. This website also lists the companies that have been excluded on the basis of responsible investment criteria. Furthermore, the pension fund publishes fi gures and results on a quarterly basis. Responsible investment PFZW is responsible for the proper fi nancial implementation of the pension scheme. At the same time, it also has a social responsibility. As a result, responsible investment has been an important principle in determining the investment policy for many years. The aim is to achieve both a good and a responsible return. For the pension fund, responsible investment means consciously taking the impact of environmental and social factors and good corporate governance into account during all its investment activities april 2016 Pensioenfonds Zorg en Welzijn Utrechtseweg 91, Zeist Postbus 4004, 3700 KA Zeist
