Annual report 2022
We were able to close the year 2022 in good financial health. The current funding ratio at the end of the 2022 reporting year was 128.4%. A limited decrease compared to the current funding ratio at year-end 2021 of 132.3%, despite a substantial indexation (as of 1 April 2022) of the pensions of pension recipients and holders of non-contributory policies of 7.78% (including catch-up indexation) and an indexation of the pensions of the pension accruors of 1.98% (including catch-up indexation).
The policy funding ratio increased in 2022, from 125.8% at the end of 2021 to 128.7% at the end of 2022. With this funding ratio, we were able to increase pensions again as of 1 April 2023 through indexation without sacrificing too much of our financial buffer.
In the annual report you will find a complete overview of what developments have meant for Philips Pensioenfonds in the year 2022 and we briefly look ahead to 2023. Read more in the annual report 2022. The report is in Dutch. In chapter 8 you can read the English summary.

After years of very low interest rates, they surged in 2022. Although this plunged our investments deep into the red it had little impact on the funding ratio. Frederieke and Mike explain why: "Given the circumstances, we're quite happy with the Pension Fund's financial position. The high inflation rates and rising interest made 2022 a challenging year."
