Members event

Date & time

20/10/2020 1.00-2.00 pm EET

Join a discussion with CFA Institute and Mercer where the results of the 2020 Mercer CFA Institute Global Pension Index (MCGPI) will be launched.

The widespread economic impact of COVID-19 is creating very real issues for retirees, both now and in the future. Coupled with increasing life expectancies and rising pressure on public resources to support the health and welfare of older citizens, COVID-19 will exacerbate retirement insecurity around the world.

Despite these challenges, it’s critical to reflect on the strengths and weaknesses of each system to ensure better outcomes for the retiree. Comparing systems from different economic, historical and political backgrounds is an important purpose of the Global Pension Index. It enables comparisons of systems to differentiate what is possible in different contexts and cultures.

The panel will include:
• Josina Kamerling – Head of Regulatory Outreach, EMEA, CFA Institute
• Benoit Hudon, Wealth Leader, Mercer UK
• Marc Heemskerk, Principal, Retirement, Mercer Netherlands
• John O'Brien, Partner, Strategic Risk Management, Mercer Europe Zone Leader
