and invest these funds in shares, bonds, short-term securities, loans,
real estate and deposits. Investment funds come under the Wet toezicht
beleggingsinstellingen (1990, Staatsblad 380), but with the exclusion of
investment funds which shares are possessed for over 50 percent by one
insurance corporation. In the source for investment funds supervisor De
Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) implemented far-reaching changes early 2009. The
most important change is the extension of the population with
institutional investment funds, meaning investment funds which equity is
in possession of one or a limited number of institutional investors
(pension funds, insurance corporations or other investment funds). The
National accounts corrected the break because of its revision policy. A
corresponding correction has been applied here. The correction excludes
the balance sheet figures at the end of 2008 of the then existing
institutional investment funds. However, balance sheet changes as from
2009 of these funds as well as new institutional investment funds are
included in the figures.
