PGGM as a company
We have expert people within our organization and we are constantly on the lookout for new talents to strengthen our company. Not only in the areas of fiduciary management and asset management, but also in relation to consultancy, risk management, administration, performance measurement and legal and tax services.
We strive for robust business operations, both operationally and financially. We offer a modular platform for this that not only contributes to excellent execution of our clients’ investment plans but is also conducive to the manageability of our processes and facilitates innovation.
We want to show that we can stand up to the best in every asset class. We therefore see properly elaborating and introducing the business improvements necessary for this as a key point for our strategy for the coming years.

PGGM, an international knowledge organisation
‘Besides putting knowledge into practice and attaining more knowledge, I was looking for an organisation that is conscious of its societal impact. Because PGGM is a long-term investor, investment risk and return are analysed from that angle of approach. I am also given the room to take on my own responsibility, and I can always rely on experienced colleagues on my team and, beyond that, on external advisers appointed in the event of advanced investment opportunities. It is genuinely a knowledge organisation as far as that is concerned. I am currently working on an international team with many experienced people who have been working in this field for a longer period of time. Ideal for a steep learning curve, although you are naturally expected to function with a large degree of independence. Our focus is mainly on the US and Europe, which means you travel a good deal. What characterises PGGM in my view, therefore, is that from its base in the forests of Zeist, it manages enormous investments on a global scale; something you would never expect as you walk by the farm next door. We occasionally organise a dinner or go for drinks outside working hours. An important element for good cooperation and positive dynamics, in my view.’
