Stichting Pensioenfonds voor de Woningcorporaties (SPW) has appointed Van Lanschot Kempen Investment Management (Van Lanschot Kempen) as its new fiduciary manager.
The firm writes that over the past year, the pension scheme, supported by Montae & Partners, conducted an extensive selection process for a fiduciary manager.
SPW manages the pensions of all employees covered by the Woondiensten collective labour agreement. The pension fund oversees the pensions of approximately 80,000 participants and has assets under management totalling over EUR15 billion. Onboarding by Van Lanschot Kempen began in January 2026, and fiduciary advisory services are being gradually implemented. As of 1 January 2027, Van Lanschot Kempen will take on full fiduciary management of all SPW’s assets.
Henk Jagersma, Employer Chair of the SPW board, says: “After an intensive selection process, we have chosen Van Lanschot Kempen as our new fiduciary manager. From the very first contact, there was a strong professional connection, further reinforced by their client-focused and entrepreneurial attitude, which immediately appealed to us. As a pension scheme, we are dedicated every day to providing a good pension for all our participants. With Van Lanschot Kempen, we have found a partner who will help us realise our ambitions and position ourselves for the future.”
Erik van Houwelingen, Member of the Management Board of Van Lanschot Kempen, responsible for Investment Management Clients, says: “We are proud that SPW has entrusted us as their new fiduciary manager. Throughout the extensive selection process, we greatly appreciated the drive and expertise of the board and its office, and we see a strong cultural alignment between our organisations. Our goal is to serve pension funds that fit our values and approach, focusing on selective, sustainable growth that aligns with Van Lanschot Kempen’s wealth management strategy. As an independent advisor, we maintain an open architecture model within a robust governance framework, making optimal use of our expertise in responsible investing and alternative investments. We look forward to a long-term partnership with SPW.”
