Heerlen, 15 July 2010. In the first half of 2010, the ABP pension fund posted a figure for return on investment of 4.6%. During the first half of this year, the value of the assets rose from 208 to 218 billion euro. Even though this figure continues to be high, during the initial months of 2010 the coverage ratio fluctuated around a level of 100%, but fell back slightly to a value of 95% at the end of June. This decline is entirely due to the historically low interest rate levels. These low rates mean that ABP has to set aside a higher level of funds in order to be able to pay out pensions in the distant future too. During the first six months of the year, the value of the pension liabilities rose by 28 billion euro.
