Pensions in Flux

The pension landscape will be undergoing many changes in 2014

In an interactive session at the “Pensions in Flux” congress on 3 April 2014, Jos Gielink and Frank Doornik talked to participants about the latest developments. Among the topics discussed with the participants was the fact that changes will have to be made to almost all pension schemes by 1 January 2015, because further fiscal austerity measures are likely. The new rules applicable to the governance of pension funds, which apply from 1 July 2014, were also covered. Other changes that are in the pipeline were also discussed, such as the announcement of new rules for the financial assessment framework, including a New Pension Contract.

After the event, the participants gathered for an informal debriefing over drinks. The meeting was a resounding success.
