Industry pension fund BPF Schilders will appoint Kempen Capital Management, the investment management arm of Van Lanschot Kempen, as its new fiduciary manager. The €8 billion pension fund, assisted by Montae & Partners, carried out a comprehensive and thorough selection process over the past year. Van Lanschot Kempen’s services will comprise a full fiduciary management mandate.

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.'

Erik van Houwelingen, Member of the Management Board of Van Lanschot Kempen, responsible for Investment Strategies & Solutions: ‘We are proud that BPF Schilders has selected us as its fiduciary manager. Following a detailed outsourcing process, we were very impressed by the professionalism and expertise demonstrated by the board of the pension fund. We will dedicate ourselves to ensuring the continuity of the pension fund in the years ahead and look forward to establishing a long term partnership with BPF Schilders, as we jointly make the transition towards the new Dutch pension system.’
