By using AEGON's asset pooling solution, companies of all sizes are able to pool their pension assets from different countries in a tax-efficient way.
Improving governance, increasing efficiency
Until now, multinational companies have had to run separate pension plans in every country. Many companies even run multiple pension plans in the same country. This has made it difficult for companies to gain a clear overview of their pension assets and liabilities – and to take advantage of their international scale. By pooling their pension assets, multinational companies can improve their pension governance, better control their financial risk, increase their operational efficiency and obtain access to better investment solutions.
What is asset pooling?
Asset pooling is the collective management of assets in order to maximize the benefits to the users. Cross-border asset pooling allows companies with operations in different countries to pool their pension assets across borders.
A solution for companies of all sizes
Although several large multinational companies have already started to pool their pension assets, smaller and medium-sized multinationals have not been able to benefit from asset pooling in the same way. Our asset pooling solution has been designed for multinational companies that do not wish to set up their own platform or do not have sufficient size, expertise or resources to do so.
Multi-manager and other funds
Companies can pool their pension assets in award-winning multi-manager funds, providing access to best-of-class asset managers, index funds, and a number of alternative asset classes such as property, commodities and hedge funds.
For companies that want to select the funds themselves, we can set up an asset pooling platform with all required services to enable tax-efficient asset pooling.
