2016 OECD/IOPS Global Forum on Private Pensions

Nov 09, 2016 - Nov 10, 2016 | Hong Kong, China

Making Private Pensions Work Better

This Global Forum aims to explore current trends in global private pension systems and the ways in which pension regulatory and supervisory authorities are managing and reacting to those trends.
It brings together high-level officials from regulatory and supervisory authorities, and experts from the pension fund industry and research institutes from both OECD and IOPS Member countries.
The main focus this year
will be consumer protection in the pensions area, in particular, the need for consumers to better understand and control fees and costs and to be better protected against potential conflicts of interest in retirement advice. Participants will also consider the interactions between private and public pension systems, and the linking of accumulation and pay-out phases. Sessions will include:
  • Launch of the new OECD Core Principles of Private Pension Regulation;
  • Strategies for reducing fees in private pension funds - lessons learnt by pension policy makers and regulators;
  • The interaction between private and public pensions in selected countries; and
  • Protecting consumers against conflicts of interest in retirement advice.
