What makes a pension system adequate and sustainable? And what role do investment governance and asset allocation play in achieving these objectives?
The 2026 Marsh CFA Institute Global Pension Index provides an annual assessment of pension systems around the world, comparing their adequacy, sustainability and integrity. While the Index offers valuable insights into the strengths and challenges of pension systems, the investment perspective is a key driver and deserves further attention. Investment governance and asset allocation, including the role of private assets, are important factors in determining long-term pension outcomes.
In this one-hour webinar, organised by CFA Society Netherlands, we will explore these dimensions and key findings from the 2026 Index.
