Guus Warringa

From 2008 until mid-2015, he served as General Counsel for APG N.V., one of the world’s leading institutional investors with more than Euro 510 billion of pension funds’ assets. He was instrumental in campaigning against the adverse consequences for pension funds of the financial transaction tax and the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) on behalf of the European pension fund sector.

Additionally, as a board member of APG Asset Management, Guus was directly involved in the development of APG’s investment strategy and jointly responsible for the risk and return of the company’s investment process.

Before joining APG, Guus served as General Counsel for two internationally operating financial services firms. His first role was General Counsel, Compliance Officer and Company Secretary for the international investment firm AOT N.V. (now Saxo bank N.V.). The company, which at that time focused on stocks, commodities and derivatives, was one of the first option traders to be exchange listed. Following his departure from AOT, Guus joined the pan-European exchange, Euronext (later becoming NYSE Euronext) where, while based in both Amsterdam and Paris, he held several senior positions, working with the securities exchanges of Paris, Lisbon and Brussels and serving as General Counsel for the Dutch exchange.
