The pension fund ABP (Stichting Pensioenfonds ABP) separated its pension fund from its investment and administrative organisation in 2008. For the investment and administrative organisation a new legal entitiy, APG Algemene Pensioen Groep N.V. ("APG") was established, eventually 98% owned by ABP and effectively only managing ABP's assets.
APG established a multi-client structure to offer other Dutch pension funds ("Clients") the opportunity to benefit from the investment management expertise APG has developed in performing its services, as well as to diversify their portfolio of assets and benefits from ecomies of scale by pooling their assets with other Clients in several new investment pools.
According to the EU Transparency Directive with regard to the notification of substantial shareholding, APG as an asset manager - within the new multi - client structure - has an obligation to report substantial shareholding as agent / attorney-in-fact for all its Clients on an aggregated basis. Effectively, as from today onwards, assets of ABP and other Clients are managed by APG in this new strucutre. Notifications of substantial shareholding are therefore made by and on behalf of APG. Future notifications will also be based on the aggregated portfolio of assets managed by APG.
APG is 98% owend by ABP. Consequently ABP will report APG's position as an indirect position.
