What is a pension?

Your pension is your income for later. Your income after retirement can consist of 3 parts: State retirement pension (AOW) – a benefit from the government. The pension you build up through your employers (Shell and any previous employers). The pension you arrange yourself, for example through an annuity or savings.

Collective Variable Pension

What is Collective Variable Pension? You will preliminary choose a fixed or variable pension at age 58. In addition, we also adjust benefits for your partner and children after your death with the results of the CVP. Those results are more than just investments. On this page, you can read all about your choice and how the CVP works.

Transfer of accrued pension rights

Did you have another employer before you started working for Shell? And did you accrue pension through that employer or other employers? If so, you could ‘transfer’ this pension to us, Shell Nederland Pensioenfonds Stichting (SNPS). We call this a transfer of accrued pension rights. You can do so at any time. But many people think about this carefully when they change jobs. You can ask your new pension fund or insurer to have the value of your pension transferred. We also call it: pension provider.
