Trends in Security Information
The HSD Trendmonitor is designed to provide access to relevant content on various subjects in the safety and security domain, to identify relevant developments and to connect knowledge and organisations. The safety and security domain encompasses a vast number of subjects. Four relevant taxonomies (type of threat or opportunity, victim, source of threat and domain of application) have been constructed in order to visualize all of these subjects. The taxonomies and related category descriptions have been carefully composed according to other taxonomies, European and international standards and our own expertise.
In order to identify safety and security related trends, relevant reports and HSD news articles are continuously scanned, analysed and classified by hand according to the four taxonomies. This results in a wide array of observations, which we call ‘Trend Snippets’. Multiple Trend Snippets combined can provide insights into safety and security trends. The size of the circles shows the relative weight of the topic, the filters can be used to further select the most relevant content for you. If you have an addition, question or remark, drop us a line at info@securitydelta.nl.

Pension funds
Pension funds are classified as financial intermediaries, of which the general aim is to provide social insurances, specifically when people go into retirement. Each month, working individuals pay a fee to their organisation, which they can collect once they are in retirement. This is also known as a pension. However, besides the provision of pensions, pension funds can also provide death and stability benefits.
Pension schemes, long-term (tax) saving plan, are set-up in order to build-up pensions of employees. Usually, a pension scheme is set-up by an employer, but individuals can also set-up their own. In general, there are two main types of pension schemes: defined benefit and defined contribution. The first, is a pension scheme where future payment to retired individuals is predetermined or guaranteed. The latter is a pension scheme where future payment is dependent on the performance of the investments that a pension fund does.
