ABP shifts €29 billion from US bonds to European debt, excluding France

Dutch pension fund ABP has sold €29 billion in US government bonds since March last year.

It used some of the proceeds to buy government debt from Germany, the Netherlands and Spain.

France did not benefit from this shift in investments.

French government bonds were left out as ABP redirected money to other European countries.

Thomas van Galen, chief strategist at Achmea Investment Management, said France faces structural problems that have put its government bonds under pressure.

The information given does not say what ABP plans to do next.
