Pension Reform and Retirement

Pension reform is a key financial policy focus around the globe. Retirement systems vary in their complexity, adequacy, and sustainability, challenging policymakers and governments in their support of aging populations. To meet the needs of underlying beneficiaries and shore up the fiscal sustainability of retirement schemes, governments are undertaking pension reform in varying ways, including addressing funding gaps, incorporating new product offerings, and reexamining retirement age policies. Likewise, policymakers, regulators, and private market participants are advocating for accurate and transparent data, sound research, and innovation to understand how they can enhance the effectiveness of their pension reform programs. CFA Institute recognizes the importance of pensions to the development of local economies and capital markets and to the global securities markets, and we are committed to helping provide relevant and timely information to assist decision makers in their pension reform efforts.
