The pension fund mandate will separate fiduciary management from asset management and reporting & control.

The fund is responsible for the pension scheme of some 46,000 employees and former employees.

In addition, Avida International acted as adviser during the tendering process and Triple A Risk Finance was appointed as additional adviser for asset-liability management.

Willem Jan Boot, chairman of Stichting Pensioenfonds voor de Architectenbureaus, said: "We want to implement a high-quality pension scheme at the lowest possible cost. A rigorous process of selection has led us to F&C as the fiduciary manager best placed, in cooperation with our asset managers PGGM Vermogensbeheer and Syntrus Achmea Real Estate & Finance, to help us meet these basic principles."

Ben Kramer, board member of F&C Netherlands, said: "By making F&C its fiduciary partner, the fund will be able to focus even better on what should be the foremost priority for a pension fund’s trustees: strategy and risk management.

"Following the appointment of F&C as fiduciary manager, the pension fund’s board can now focus on essential issues, such as strategy and risk management," he added.
