La industria chilena en alerta por los cambios que podrían afectar la inversion de AFPs en alternativos

Después de años y años de intentos de reformar el sistema de pensiones de Chile –pionero del modelo de capitalización individual obligatoria desde la década de los 80s–, la reforma aprobada a inicios de 2025 se sintió como una victoria al sector. Sobrevivieron las AFPs – en un momento se propuso dejar sólo como asesoras de inversiones–, se cerró la puerta a un sistema de reparto, se aumentó la tasa de cotización… No sorprende que el tema pasara el...

UK savers need extra £23bn a year to hit 12% pension target, says Bowmore

New research from Bowmore Financial Planning, part of Bowmore Wealth Group, has indicated that UK savers are falling short of recommended pension contributions. Bowmore’s analysis of HMRC data for 2022–23 suggests savers would need to contribute 12% of their annual salary to meet guidance from Pensions UK. However, the company estimates that reaching this level would require around £23bn in additional pension contributions each year. Bowmore Wealth Group’s review of HMRC data on incomes and pension contributions shows that private sector workers...

UN Pension Review Raises Concerns Among Staff and Retirees

The United Nations General Assembly’s latest pension fund resolution — adopted at the end of December 2025 — has triggered concerns among current and former staff members of the organization that their retirement security may be at risk. The resolution invites the UN Pension Board to carry out a full review of the pension system, including consideration of defined-contribution and hybrid models and exploring ways to “lower contributions.” That last phrase signals the review’s underlying intent: cost reduction rather than benefit enhancement. While framed...

Colombia. Tras el ajuste de 23 %, ¿qué va a pasar con los pensionados que recibían un poco más que el salario mínimo?

Aunque la mitad de los 2,2 millones de pensionados que hay en el país reciben una mesada de un salario mínimo, hay otro grupo importante que está un poco por encima de ese valor y que ahora, con el ajuste decretado por el Gobierno para 2026, quedarían en el nivel más bajo. Como en el país no es posible tener pensiones inferiores al salario mínimo (para este año 1.750.905 pesos), la ley establece que a todos los jubilados que están en ese rango, tanto en...

México. Jubilaciones del Poder Judicial elevan 3% el gasto en pensiones

Derivado de la inconformidad con la reciente reforma judicial a nivel nacional, decenas de trabajadores del Poder Judicial en Aguascalientes solicitaron su jubilación, lo que generó un incremento aproximado del 3% en el monto destinado al pago de pensiones por parte del Instituto de Seguridad y Servicios Sociales para los Servidores Públicos del Estado de Aguascalientes (ISSSSPEA).

Asia is entering the longevity era. How can we rethink wealth in a 100-year life?

For Asian countries in an aged-society stage, this demographic shift brings profound implications for how people are supported through longer lifespans. Just as a CFO manages risk and plans strategically, individuals must take a more active role in building financial resilience. The true success of a 100-year society lies not only in extending lifespan but in extending dignity, contribution and meaning. Across Asia, populations are ageing at a pace the world has never seen. Countries like Japan, the Republic of Korea and...
