Stichting Pensioenfonds ABP

Stichting Pensioenfonds ABP ("National Civil Pension Fund"), frequently referred to as ABP, is the pension fund for government and education employees in the Netherlands. For the year ended 31 December 2012, ABP had 2.8 million participants and assets under management of €281 billion ($362.5 billion, 1 EUR=1.29 USD), making it the largest pension fund in the Netherlands and among the three largest pension funds in the world.

ABP’s predecessor, the Algemeen Burgerlijk Pensioenfonds ("Dutch Civil Servants Pension Fund"), was established in 1922 following the adoption of the superannuation act, which regulated the pensions of civil servants. Originally, the pension fund was a government controlled entity that fell under the authority of the minister of home affairs in The Hague. In January 1996, ABP was privatized although its primary function remains unchanged.

Since 1 March 2008 ABP's subsidiary APG administers the ABP pension scheme.

ABP is headquartered in Heerlen, Netherlands. Ed Nijpels took the chair as Chairman of the Board on 1 August 2009, he resigned in February 2010 because of his role in the failure of the DSB Bank.
