US. State Public Pension Fund Returns Expected to Decline

About 29 million Americans have been promised retirement benefits through state public sector pension systems. And more than half of those benefits depend on earnings generated by nearly $4 trillion in assets held in trust by those systems.1 However, with more than two-thirds of those assets allocated to risky investments—publicly traded stocks, also known as equities, and alternative vehicles, including private equity, real estate, and hedge funds—retirement systems’ ability to meet their commitments hinges largely on investments that are...

UK. DB schemes with DC AVCs will need to comply with ‘stronger nudge’ regs

“Sube más el precio de la vida que la pensión”

La subida del precio de la cesta de la compra ya se nota en el bolsillo de los pensionistas. Y es que, según la OCU, algunos supermercados han encarecido muchos de sus productos, llegando hasta casi un 10% anual, con un incremento mayor en los últimos tres meses. Sin embargo, las pensiones no han aumentado al mismo ritmo –oficialmente varían en función del IPC medio, el 2,5%–. Por ello, 65YMÁS ha salido a la calle para conocer cómo afecta al...

South Africa. GEPF signs new unlisted Africa investment mandate with PIC

The Government Employees Pension Fund (GEPF) and the Public Investment Corporation (PIC) have signed a new mandate related to unlisted developmental investments in Africa.

UK. Less than third of schemes regularly track individual fund performance

Just 30 per cent of pension schemes regularly monitor individual fund performance as experienced by members, according to new research. Defined contribution schemes must start targeting retirement outcomes over outperforming indices, Aon said in response to its survey of 109 UK DC schemes. In contrast, 90 per cent of schemes are using an index-based perspective for monitoring performance against market indices and benchmarks. Even fewer schemes — 15 per cent of respondents — monitored performance in the context of how it delivered...
