CFK

CFK provides professional footballers and cyclists with the resources to develop a new line of work after the end of their active career. Its core purpose is to promote the financial security of ex-professional players/cyclists. CFK acts on the principle of social responsibility while facilitating the pursuit of professional football and cycling in the Netherlands. Among its objectives are:

• to administer the bridging scheme serving the above objective at the lowest possible cost;

• to promote the establishment and retention of such group schemes.

The overarching objective at CFK is to give the interests of the individual footballer/cyclist the greatest priority in all its areas of activity. CFK aims to be recognised as an open, expert, reliable and client oriented organisation enjoying the confidence of players/cyclists. The executive board places strong emphasis on adhering to developments taking place in the area of “good pension fund governance”.  Although CFK is not formally a pension fund, this provides a useful frame of reference.

CFK has done everything possible to align its governance structure with the most recent guidelines. The supervisory board accordingly has a controlling influence on the work of the executive board and the council of members plays a significant advisory role. The supervisory and executive boards as well as all CFK staff are furthermore required to comply with a rigorous code of conduct.
