Tilburg University, Investment & Pensions Europe, and the European Pension Academy together are organising the Global Pension Survey (GPS). GPS polls high-level pension experts of pension funds around the world to gauge recent developments, trend data, investment plans, and the prospects of individual pension funds and the economy at large. By aggregating the views of pension funds, which are extremely close to the financial markets, the survey will provide a remarkably accurate perspective on financial trends. GPS is uniquely positioned in four ways: timeliness, viewpoint, depth and uniqueness. The focus is on asking pension funds a core set of questions and accumulating data over time in order to provide enhanced insights, thus creating a powerful and useful tool for pension experts. GPS offers a comprehensive picture of global pension trends and examines the issues confronting pension providers around the world.
