The coverage ratio

To be able to pay out all its pensions now and in the future, it is important that the fund remains financially healthy. For this reason, the financial situation of Witteveen+Bos’s pension fund is closely monitored. This is done not only by the board but also by the various parties tasked with supervision. The coverage ratio is an important indicator of the fund’s financial position.

What is the coverage ratio?

The coverage ratio indicates the relationship between the fund’s financial resources (i.e. its assets) and its pension liabilities (i.e. the pensions it has to pay out now and in the future). The higher the coverage ratio, the better the fund’s financial situation – i.e. the more cash in hand to pay out pensions. A coverage ratio of 100 % means we have exactly enough money to pay out all our pensions.
