What MN DECA & MN BPA does

MN (operating under the names MN DECA and MN BPA) is a Dutch non-profit fiduciary asset manager headquartered at Prinses Beatrixlaan 15 in The Hague. Founded in 1960, MN provides fully integrated fiduciary asset management — investment advice, portfolio construction, and execution — exclusively to a fixed roster of Dutch sector pension funds, including PMT, PME, Koopvaardij, MTT, and the corporate funds of Essity, Forbo, and Cargill. Across these clients the firm manages approximately €165 billion in assets, covering around 2 million participants and 35,000 affiliated employers, making it one of the larger institutional fiduciary managers in the Dutch pension sector.

The service portfolio comprises integrated fiduciary management, thematic/impact investing (energy transition, circular economy, access to financing, affordable housing), in-house asset management for lower-cost execution, and proprietary investment funds that allow smaller-to-medium pension funds to access broad investment categories at scale. The operational backbone is the Investment Management Services (IMS) platform, which handles asset servicing, performance measurement, risk control, and change portfolio management. A self-built Data Platform on AWS (using Lambda, Step Functions, API Gateway, DynamoDB, and Snowflake) supports Python-based microservices and Plotly Dash analytics, with CI/CD managed via GitLab/GitOps and infrastructure defined through Terraform/CDK. An Information Security Management System (ISMS) governs compliance with DORA, GDPR, the AI Act, ISO 27001, and ISAE 3402/3000.

Revenue is generated through fiduciary management fees charged to client pension funds under negotiated mandates; pricing is not publicly disclosed. MN is a non-profit (organisatie zonder winstoogmerk) and explicitly does not pursue new clients, operating solely in the interest of its existing pension fund mandate holders. The firm employs around 500 colleagues across vermogensbeheer, IT, data science, secretariat, finance, risk & compliance, and facilities, governed by a Board of Directors (with Co-CEO Fleur Rieter since 2019) and a Supervisory Board chaired by Jurgen Stegmann since January 2024.
