Stable or variable pension benefit?

Fixed pension benefit

• From your retirement date you will receive the same amount each month for your lifetime (‘fixed pension’).
• Your pension benefit will not rise if prices rise. We do not expect your pension benefit to fall either.
• You can purchase a fixed pension at StiPP or from an insurer.

Variable pension benefit

• The amount you receive each month will vary each year (‘variable pension’). It may be higher, but also lower.
• Your pension benefit may go up if prices rise, but may also fall.
• You can only purchase a variable pension from an insurer. At StiPP you can only purchase a fixed pension benefit.

Need help with your choice?

One person is happy to take more of a risk than another. The following questions may help you decide:

1. Do I want to run a greater investment risk in return for the expectation of a higher pension?
2. Can I still get by if I receive less or far less pension?
3. Will I still sleep well at night if the proceeds of the investments are temporarily or permanently worse than expected?
   
   

If you have answered ‘yes’ three times, investing for a variable pension may be something for you. But if you have answered ‘no’ three times, investing for a fixed pension may be a better option.

You will find personal information about your pension at Mijn StiPP Pensioen.

Are you choosing a variable pension benefit?

StiPP works with the intermediary Apple Tree. On their website StiPP.metpensioen.nl you can see what variable pension benefit you can purchase with the pension capital you have accrued. 

If you have any questions about a variable pension benefit or need any help with choosing an insurer, Apple Tree will be glad to help you.

You can tell StiPP from which insurer you want to purchase your variable pension up to one month before your chosen retirement date.

Note: 

• You can only purchase a variable pension benefit from most insurers if your accrued pension capital is more than €25,000. 
• At StiPP you can only purchase a fixed pension benefit with your pension capital.
