DPS

What DPS does

DPS is a privately-held Dutch professional services firm headquartered in Sittard, Limburg (Netherlands), operating under AFM license 14001544 as an integral service provider for pension funds. The company combines advisory and execution capabilities under a single roof, delivering eight interconnected service modules: Board Advisory (Bestuursondersteuning), Fiduciary Advice (Fiduciair Advies), Fiduciary Management (Fiduciair Beheer), Portfolio Management (Portefeuille Management), Risk Management (Risicobeheer), Financial Administration & Reporting, Actuarial/Legal/Pension Advice, and Pensions Administration & Communication. The firm also operates its own asset management department with mid-office and back-office functions, enabling vertical integration from strategic advice through to operational execution.

DPS employs approximately 89 professionals and serves Dutch enterprise pension funds, with named engagements including Pensioenfonds PDN and Stichting Pensioenfonds SABIC. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct, engaging pension fund boards, trustees, and governance bodies through relationship-based B2B sales rather than intermediaries. Revenue is generated through fee-based professional services engagements (pricing is not publicly disclosed). Marketing is conducted primarily through professional networks, the company website, LinkedIn, and published annual reports (Jaarverslagen 2023, 2024, 2025). The company has also extended into sustainability services covering both sustainable business operations and ESG-integrated investment advisory and management, and it has steadily expanded headcount, signaling continued investment in delivery capacity within a mature, regulated niche.
