Pension funds: live long and prosper?
What keeps pension fund’s trustees awake at night? In the current market environment, interest rates, equity and credit markets are a major source of concern for pension funds. However, the potential cost of people living longer has also hit the headlines. The issue with longevity is not that our generation expects to live longer than our parents. The problem is rather that we simply do not know how many years future generations will add in terms of life expectancy. This poses a real threat to our retirement system, unless we face this longevity risk now and learn how to deal with it in the not so distant future.
Financial markets may be part of the solution to the longevity challenge. Cardano has been involved in analysing the effectiveness of managing longevity risk using capital market solutions.
