Dutch pension fund asset manager APG has announced that its CEO, Ronald Wuijster, will step down from his role on 1 March 2026, after completing his second term.

APG Asset Management chief operating officer and APG Group Executive Committee member, Alineke van den Berge-Blindenbach, will take over Wuijster’s duties at APG Asset Management, subject to regulatory approval.

APG confirmed that the search to fill the role has started.

Commenting on his departure, Wuijster said: “I am proud of what we have achieved together. It has been a privilege to work alongside so many talented colleagues and to contribute to APG’s purpose: building a good pension together in a liveable world.

“With our new strategy now in place, I am confident that APG Asset Management is well-positioned for the years ahead. This is a logical moment to hand over the baton for the execution of that strategy.”

Adding to this, APG CEO, Annette Mosman, said she is “deeply grateful” to Wuijster for his contribution to the development of APG Asset Management and APG Group and called him a “professional and highly committed colleague”.

APG chairman of the supervisory board, Peter Bommel, commented: “Ronald’s contribution to APG and the pension sector cannot be overstated. Under his leadership, APG Asset Management has strengthened its position as a global asset manager.

“We are deeply grateful for his commitment over the past two decades and wish him all the best for the future.”

APG Asset Management chairman of the supervisory board, Knut Kjaer, said that with van den Berge-Blindenbach’s temporary appointment, APG “ensure continuity” and said that the asset manager is “pleased that she is willing to take on this role”.
