PDN and SPF pension funds
- Pension service
DPS manages the implementation of the collective pension and pre-pension schemes on behalf of the pension funds and communicates on these matters.
- Asset management
DPS advises the pension funds on investment strategies and all related topics. Tactical and operational management is carried out by the asset management department.
