Global Pension Survey
December 12 2009 - 0:00Where is the economy going? What financial developments can we expect? What are the current challenges facing the pension sector and how do pension funds around the world deal with this? Questions of all time, but in these financially turbulent times more important than ever. Therefore, Tilburg University, Investment & Pensions Europe, and the European Pension Academy together are launching the Global Pension Survey. Global Pension Survey each quarter 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. The primary aim of the study is to gain a clearer understanding among pension funds of the key issues they face in their varied geographical contexts. It is also intended to present insights into the future of the pensions industry and assist in developing and evaluating their organisations' options and strategies. By aggregating the opinions of the pension funds, which are extremely close to the financial markets, the survey offers a remarkably accurate perspective on financial trends.
