Social affairs minister Henk Kamp is to allow corporate pension funds to appoint external experts to their management boards, website nu.nl reports on Monday.

Corporate funds will have two options: a board made up entirely of experts or a board which combines external experts with union, employer and pensioner representatives.
A fund which is run only by external executives will in turn be monitored by a board representing the various interest groups – unions, employers and pensioners.
The increasingly complex nature of the financial markets makes it necessary to involve more experts in the management of pension funds, the minister says in a briefing to MPs.
