Jozias van Aartsen,
Jozias Johannes van Aartsen is the Mayor of The Hague. In this
Mayor of The Hague
capacity, he chairs the Municipal Council and the Municipal
Executive (college van burgemeester en wethouders). The mayor
of The Hague is responsible for the portfolio of public order and
safety. Mayors in the Netherlands are not elected but are
appointed by the Crown. He studied law at the Vrije Universiteit
and was the personal secretary of the VVD (Dutch Liberal Party)
Wednesday November 5
party faction leader in the Dutch Lower House of Parliament
4
(Tweede Kamer) from 1971 to 1974. Thereafter he became
director of the Telders Foundation, the scholarly think tank of
the VVD. In 1979 he joined the Ministry of the Interior as Chef de
Bureau of the Secretary General. From 1983 to 1985 he was
Deputy Secretary General there and from 1985 to 1994 Secretary
General himself at the Ministry of Interior. Thereafter he became
a member of parliament and served as Minister of Agriculture,
Nature and Fisheries (1994-1998) and Minister of Foreign Affairs
(1998-2002). In 2002 he again became a member of parliament,
where he served as faction chairman of the VVD party from 2003
to 2006. He stepped down after his party showed a disappointing
return in the municipal elections.
The City of The Hague is pleased to host the
WorldPensionSummit 2014. Jozias van Aartsen, has the
ambition to position his city as key in pension developments on a
global level: “The Dutch might be viewed as pioneers in the field
of pensions, but we are now facing challenges that call for global
insights and unique approaches. The WorldPensionSummit is
the international platform where these new ideas are shared,
and global networking is a stimulus for pension professionals.
So: welcome to The Hague!"

Financing Pensions | New Roles New Responsibilities
09.2009.30
SPEAKERS
TOPIC
Harry Smorenberg,
Gradually we realize that securing adequate pension provision is
Founder & Chairman
a joint key task of workers, employers and the government.
WorldPensionSummit
Question is: "What is adequate?". This world is still quite diverse
with emerging economies starting to build their base pension
infrastructure, mature economies still 'rebalancing their pillars'
and the 'old economies' realizing that many retired citizens are
outliving their savings and become a new market segment of
Wednesday November 5
"New Old Poor".
The meaning of the word "pensions" steadily shifts towards
"securing personal financial continuity in active and inactive
times of our life". Financing pensions will be an integral part of
aggregating savings out of work in a flexible and swift changing
labor environment. Much more control and discipline (and
understanding !) will be asked from the individual. As we grow
older, working longer might become our 4th pillar of 'income
after retirement' as we have to realize that our income will vary
during our lifetime and we do have to become flexible in
accepting (part time / multiple) jobs and adjusted career paths
and matching earnings when working well past the age of 65. The
fast changing labor market will impact to great extend the
present traditional pension structures!
Securing sufficient contribution levels in pension plans will be a
major challenge. In my view, pension provisions should merge
into an individually managed fund that could be linked to
healthcare and housing as these are two key 'game changers' of
the financial agenda of an individual. Saving for healthcare
(healthcare insurance) and saving for pensions (as a form of life
insurance) do meet each other for sure as we grow older... Such a
fund can be part of collective schemes to mitigate risks and
should be protected against leakage. We do have to re-invent
pensions and accept New Roles and New Responsibilities in our
market place in order to Finance Pensions or rather 'secure
personal financial continuity'.

Peter Borgdorff,
Also in the Netherlands, ‘pensions’ is a hot topic, these days. We

government. Financial literacy is far too complex for laymen to
Design, Fidelity
attain, and hence Defined Benefit (DB) plans are the most
Solutions | London
appropriate for retirement income. Nonetheless, the past few
decades saw an exodus from DB to Defined Contribution (DC),
predominantly because liability immunisation mechanism
Wednesday November 5
struggles to deliver.
7
This transition has left many closed DB assets, which are by
definition diminishing in size but their management remains
complex. To provide a scalable solution for these plans, we have
developed a multi-asset investment process optimised to meet
company-specific liabilities.
Even the best managed DC is no full substitute for DB as the
resulting benefits will vary significantly between members.
Nonetheless, with a properly optimised lifecycle investing,
sponsors can reduce the disparity. We believe lifecycle investing
is best modelled through a return maximisation with a strict risk
budget as a function of the time-to-retirement.
While DC sponsor’s responsibility may end when the member
retires, it is highly desirable for them to also provide postretirement education. In our view, however, a superior solution is
rather a hybrid approach to benefit from the best of two worlds,
DB and DC.

A closer look also to the US Generation Y:
They are young, tech savvy and confident; diverse, connected
and idealistic. And, they face a host of financial challenges. At 80
Wednesday November 5
million strong, Gen Y is the largest generation in U.S. history. Its
8
members account for about a third of the country’s workforce,
and their impact is expected to grow rapidly in the coming
decade. As a result, helping these young adults achieve financial
security has huge implications—not just for the individuals, but
for the economy and the nation’s future. To understand this
group’s personal finances and financial-management practices,
GFLEC and TIAA-CREF Institute, took a close look at 2,124
college-educated respondents age 23 to 35 who took part in the
2012 wave of the US National Financial Capability Study. Despite
encouraging findings in terms of asset ownership, collegeeducated Millennials are burdened by debt and struggle to meet
payments on short- and long-term obligations. They turn to
expensive credit card practices and alternative financial services
to help make ends meet, and they lack a financial reserve to help
meet the expenses of an unexpected negative event.
Furthermore, underlying Gen Y financial decision making is a
generally low level of financial literacy. The results suggest that
the promotion of financial literacy—through financial
education—is needed. In particular, there is a need for improved
knowledge and understanding regarding debt and debt
management. Programs aimed at improving financial literacy
could help Gen Y minimize the costs incurred in managing debt,
improve personal financial safety nets, and fortify both shortterm and long-term financial stability and security.

and that is – according to a European Study - a number of around 160.000

country. Building on earlier preparatory work, the European Commission
committed itself in the 2012 European Research Area (ERA) Communication to
“support stakeholders in setting up pan-European supplementary pension
Wednesday November 5
fund(s) for researchers”. The Director General Research and Innovation invited a
core group of employer representatives with an in-depth understanding of the
technicalities to prepare the ground for the establishment of what is now known
as “Retirement Savings Vehicle for European Research Institutions - RESAVER”.
The Task Force was chaired by Paul Jankowitsch, TU Wien, with Theodore
Economou, CERN, as secretary and representatives from VSNU, Synchrotron
Trieste, the Italian National Research Council, the Central European University
Budapest, Gent University and Cambridge University, Italy`s Institute of
Technology, Politechnico Torino, Fondazione Edmund Mach and CERIC of Trieste
attending as members; and important European university organizations like
CESAER, EUA, LERU and the RUSSELL Group attending as observers. By
exploring the potential of the IORP Directive (Institutions for Occupational
Retirement Provision) the Task Force concluded that it is technically feasible to
establish a single pension arrangement open to employers located in a number of
different countries. Such a vehicle would allow employees to remain affiliated to
their supplementary pension scheme, provided their employer participates in it.
The vehicle should be a defined contribution scheme in order to avoid any future
liabilities for the employers. By 1st of October 2014 the Task Force has
transformed into a legal person (‘Consortium’) in the form of an international
non-profit organization according to Belgian law. The RESAVER pension fund
should be operational in the course of 2015, with defined pension contributions
being transferred by participating research institutions. In the end, RESAVER will
remove pensions as a barrier to researchers’ mobility and provide researchers
and their employers with access to a high quality European second pillar pension
plan. The project subsequently contributes to the establishment of a European
labour market for researchers.

Strategic Planning
To meet these retirement and savings challenges, numerous countries have

begun shifting their focus from defined benefit retirement systems—which have

contribution systems. Although the benefits of a DC model are significant, a

major pitfall is that individuals are left with the burden of determining
member, Fourth
contribution amount and investment selection. Unfortunately, most individuals
Swedish National
in DC plans lack sufficient financial literacy, discipline and incentive to make

long-term investment decisions. And in the U.S., financial education efforts have

failed to motivate and engage individuals around investment decision making.
Outcome-oriented investment approaches such as target date funds in the U.S.
and UK are proving to be a compelling option that can potentially replicate the
asset class diversification and professional management available in DB plans
while simplifying investment selection for the ordinary citizen.
For multinational corporations, approaches to managing DB and DC systems vary
by country but the end outcome is the same: to help employees achieve sufficient
replacement income in order to live a secure retirement. Our panelists will
discuss how multinational firms can build a sound corporate governance
structure that can help streamline the complex process of managing multiple DB
and DC plans across the globe. Real-world examples will be shared of how some
leading global firms are creating efficiencies by taking a holistic approach to
managing DB and DC plans.

Employers also show increased interest in employing people
| Dortmund
above the pension age, and there are reasons to believe that this
interest will further increase. Many retirees who are currently
not involved in paid work, would like to be.
This session will discuss the role of the 4th pillar, but also how
willingness and ability among employees can be increased by
taking measures well-before the pension age, and by developing
tailor-made work arrangements. It will also discuss how
governments can facilitate work after retirement by addressing
barriers in ways that contribute to sustainable and adequate
pension systems.
Key take-aways:
-Work is an increasingly important source of income for people
after the statutory pension age in the EU.
-Some working retirees are purely motivated by financial need,
but many work because they want.
-Many older people would like to be involved in paid work, but
face barriers.
-The ability and willingness of people to gain income through the
4th pillar can be influenced by employers and governments, by
taking measures already early in life.

The CPF is a fully-funded defined contribution scheme, but is

Besides providing a lifelong income through a national annuity

for property purchases. In the area of healthcare, the CPF has
facilitated the access to affordable and quality medical care,
through individualised healthcare savings and risk pooling
through a national medical insurance scheme. From end 2015,
this national medical insurance scheme will be enhanced to
provide universal and lifetime protection against large hospital

potentially civil unrest. China is currently facing the enormous
pressure as a result of the one-child policy and the aging peak.
China could learn more from the experience of the pension
finance development from e.g. The Netherlands, UK and
Switzerland.
China’s individual account pension, enterprise annuity,
occupational pension, and commercial pension insurance funds
must invest in capital markets to ensure the preservation and
appreciation of assets. At the same time, the pension finance
will benefit China’s capital market development as well.

The Pension Pillars in Europe: Classification, Evolution and
Current Trends

SPEAKERS
TOPIC
Francesco Briganti,
Up to the beginning of the 21st century, the classification of the
Director of The
pension pillars in the EU Member States was easy and very
European Association of
uniform among the different countries (with the only exception of
Paritarian Institutions
Finland). However, things started to change quite remarkably:
(AEIP) | Brussels
several Central & Eastern European States with different
pension systems inspired by the World Bank joined the EU in
2004 and in 2007; and some other European countries
introduced new compulsory pension schemes on the top of their
statutory PAYG first pillar, and decided to consider them as a
second layer of their first pillar (the so called first pillar bis).
Thursday November 6
Subsequently, the classification of 1st, 2nd and 3rd pillar in the
25
EU Member States differ quite a lot. Many problems arise as for
the application of the EU legislation with particular regards to
the EU laws, normally applicable to the second and their pillar
pensions: competition rules, solvency requirements, and
supervisory powers granted to the European Insurance and
Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA).
In this presentation, the new mapping of the different pension
pillars in Europe will be provided. It will be particularly
underlined that the classification and definition of the 3 pension
pillars in an EU perspective does not correspond to the one used
by the European States. But which reasons led several European
States to reform the structures of their pension systems; and
what are the growing tensions and conflicts between the EU
institutions and the national Governments as for their
competence in regulating pensions. Several trends of the
European pension systems in the last 10 years and nowadays
will be explained with particular regard to the evolution and
interaction of the 3 pillars. National trends have been partially
conditioned by the EU policies but, in their turn, they also
contributed to influence the trends of the EU policies in
pensions.

Many influential pension funds are changing their philosophies
and practices, and they are also getting backing from courts and
policy makers in nations across the world. We thus seem to be at
the cusp of a global evolution in legal and social understandings
of the fiduciary duties of pension investors. This session
presents a vibrant discussion between senior academics and
pension fund representatives that play a leading role in the
current evolution. The session gives insights into the latest
research and practitioner perspectives on:
• the changing legal landscape of fiduciary duty across the globe,
• beneficiaries’ own attitudes towards the fiduciary duty of their
pension funds, and
• critical perspectives on the future directions of fiduciary duty.
