14th Pension Seminar Maastricht
“The challenge for Europe and the Netherlands: Better pensions and more prosperity through opening up the capital market?"
Key questions:
- Clearly designed dashboards can give people better insight into their pensions and encourage them to take action. How do we make these dashboards user-friendly, safe and effective? Jessica Mosher shares insights from the OECD Pension Outlook 2024
- Can we achieve a higher return on pensions in a European capital market union with the renewed Dutch pension system?
- To what extent do you include European developments in your strategy and investment policy?
- How do we create an infrastructure that not only contributes to better access to the capital market, but also encourages participants to save for their pension more actively?
- What would be needed to improve this complex interplay between regulations, infrastructure and risk appetite, so that Europe and therefore also the Netherlands no longer lags behind and the pension participant benefits from it?
Why is the capital market in the US better developed than in Europe, despite our larger consumer market? This disadvantage has consequences for European prosperity, legislation and regulations, and our way of saving for retirement. What is holding us back from developing our capital markets more efficiently?
How can we improve this? Pension funds must follow the regulations within the capital markets union, but more must also be done to encourage people to save more and accept more risk for their retirement. Can better insight into our retirement help to change our attitude?
During this afternoon we will address these questions; not only with the speakers, but certainly also with an active contribution from you!
