Conac

What Conac does

Conac is a Brussels-headquartered professional services firm founded in 1988, specializing in supplementary (second-pillar) pension administration, actuarial consulting, accounting and reporting, risk management, and governance support for Belgian pension funds and employers. The company serves over 70 pension schemes covering more than 400,000 employee lives, including large multinational corporations with Belgian operations and local Belgian companies, and operates the Pension & Co multi-employer pension fund (OFP/IRP) established in 2010. Conac was acquired by AG Insurance in 2017 and continues to operate as an independent entity, combining the agility of a ~45-person specialist firm with the parent's ISO 27001-certified IT infrastructure and EUR 75 billion balance sheet.

Conac's technology platform is entirely proprietary and purpose-built for Belgian pension fund requirements. PMi (Pension Manager for the Internet) handles secure straight-through pension administration with Sigedis push-message integration; AMi (Actuarial Manager for IORPs) covers IAS/IFRS, FAS, and Belgian prudential actuarial calculations; Kluwer Fund Manager manages pension fund accounting and ECB/AEAPP/FSMA reporting; Benefits Online (BOL) provides participant-facing self-service; Governance Manager offers role-based document and communication tools; and Conac ALM delivers stochastic asset-liability modeling. All tools are hosted within AG Insurance's ISO 27001-certified environment and audited under ISAE 3402/SOC 1 annually since 2011, with ISAE 3000/SOC 2 and DORA compliance layered on top.

The business model is enterprise professional services delivered on a customized, scope-based pricing model (no public pricing). Revenue streams span actuarial services, pension administration, accounting and reporting, risk management, governance support, and managed services via Pension & Co. The go-to-market is direct enterprise sales supported by Abelica Global network referrals for international clients and AG Insurance ecosystem cross-referrals. Customer concentration is moderate given the breadth of 70+ schemes across enterprise and mid-market segments, though no individual client revenue disclosure exists.

Core offering

Conac provides end-to-end Belgian supplementary pension services for companies and pension funds, including actuarial consulting (valuations, IAS/IFRS reporting), pension administration (member data, payments, tax/social declarations), accounting and regulatory reporting, risk management, governance support, HR/participant communication, and the Pension & Co multi-employer pension fund structure. Services are delivered via Conac's in-house developed platforms (PMi, AMi, Kluwer Fund Manager, BOL, Governance Manager, Conac ALM) hosted within an ISO 27001 IT environment.

Product overview

Conac delivers its pension services through a suite of internally developed software tools. The core platform is PMi (Pension Manager for the Internet), a web-based pension administration system that handles data management, calculations, and payments, fed by Sigedis push messages and employer payroll data. AMi (Actuarial Manager for IORPs) is the actuarial calculation engine covering all Belgian prudential requirements and IAS/IFRS reporting per client. Kluwer Fund Manager handles accounting, portfolio transactions, and regulatory reporting (FSMA, ECB/AEAPP). Participant-facing communication is delivered through Benefits Online (BOL), while Governance Manager provides role-based access for fund administrators and stakeholders. Conac ALM offers stochastic asset-liability modelling. These tools are supplemented by the Pension & Co multi-employer fund sub-brand, a shared-structure OFP for clients needing full governance outsourcing. All tools are delivered as in-house SaaS-style web applications within an ISO 27001 certified IT environment hosted by AG Insurance.
