TLDR: approx € 5 B worth

AMSTERDAM, Feb 17 (Reuters) - ABP, the Netherlands’ largest pension fund, has sold its shares in tech companies Meta (META.O) and Alphabet (GOOGL.O), its CEO told Dutch newspaper FD in an interview published on Monday.

In second quarter of 2024 the pension fund held Alphabet shares worth about 3 billion euros ($3.15 billion) while its Meta holdings totalled 2 billion euros, FD said. Its Tesla holdings were valued at 597 million euros at the time.

Van Wijnen said the sales were not related to the election of Donald Trump as U.S. President and the support he received from the CEOs of those companies.

In Dutch news it was clarified that these funds don’t fit the Profile of ABP’s " Sustainable and Responsible Investment Policy"
That says it all.

Rules (2024-08-30)

This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don’t overly distort the content.
No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don’t post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don’t troll nor incite hatred. Don’t look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia’s List of fallacies.
No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism.
Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add “/s” when you’re being sarcastic (and don’t use it to break rule no. 3).
If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in [email protected]. (They’re cool, you should subscribe there too!)
Don’t evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)

(This list may get expanded when necessary.)

We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don’t show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.

If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the mods: @[email protected], @[email protected], or @[email protected].
