Summary
Dutch pension fund has awarded a fiduciary management mandate worth €1.25bn to Van Lanschot Kempen, the Dutch asset manager, according to a report published by Investment & Pensions Europe (IPE) on 11 June 2026. The primary source article is brief, and the publicly available excerpts do not disclose the name of the pension fund, the full scope of the mandate, or the specific asset classes involved.
In a statement quoted via the publisher's domain, the pension fund said: "After a careful selection process, we chose Van Lanschot Kempen. The proposed services and the intended collaboration model align well with how..." The quoted text is truncated, so the full rationale for the selection cannot be confirmed from the available material.
The announcement sits within a busy period for European fiduciary management. IPE, which carries the story in its Netherlands and Fiduciary Management coverage, linked it to a separate report that bpfBOUW had picked BlackRock for a €70bn fiduciary mandate despite climate concerns. IPE also flagged a same-day item in which Border to Coast Pensions Partnership picked AllianceBernstein for an equity alpha fund.
For allocators tracking fiduciary management, the mandate size of €1.25bn is a useful reference point for mid-sized Dutch pension assets, while the broader trend shows large schemes continuing to outsource implementation and oversight to external providers.
