Approximately 60% of assets are managed in-house, with the remainder allocated to external managers.

The firm maintains a Three Lines of Defense risk management framework and proprietary ESG inclusion/exclusion policies, and in 2026 published its first integrated Climate Transition Plan. APG maintains close relationships with approximately 100 fund managers globally and has dedicated stewardship and engagement programs for investee companies, targeting measurable climate (50% carbon emission reduction, €30B climate transition investments) and biodiversity (€10B by 2030) outcomes.

APG generates revenue through asset management fees on AUM and fiduciary management service fees, both structured as recurring subscription-style streams negotiated on a bespoke basis with its pension fund clients. The firm operates exclusively through direct institutional sales to large pension funds, delivered via client management teams across six offices on three continents: Amsterdam (headquarters), Heerlen, Brussels, New York, Hong Kong, and Singapore. With 1,183 employees and a 6.0% average absolute return over the past 15 years for ABP, APG combines scale, in-house execution, and a responsible investing franchise to deliver long-term pension outcomes.
