Welcome TO THE
World Pensions Council
The Crossroads Where Modern Financial Research and Pension Policy Meet
Pension Research & Advocacy
The World Pensions Council (WPC) is a non-profit policy research organization dedicated to the retirement & savings aspects of social protection in the broadest sense . . . We believe that only solid pension systems can “open up the way to higher standards of social welfare and economic security”
About Us
GLOBAL THOUGHT LEADERSHIP
The World Pensions Council has pioneered and helped mainstream key notions such as “Modern Trusteeship and Fiduciary Capitalism”, “The SDG–Driven World Economy”, “The Pension Wealth of Nations”, “Sustainable Finance Shifting the Trillions”, the “Private Market Assets Matrix”, and “Infrastructure as a New Asset Class”
ROOTED IN RESEARCH
We design, conduct and disseminate academic and professional research on a wide array of pension related topics such as demographics, actuarial science and statistical methods, asset allocation, and investment governance across Europe, Asia and the Americas
We believe that this holistic, multifaceted approach will facilitate national and cross-border cooperation between all pension stakeholders, including board members & trustees
We're engaged in a wide variety of bipartisan advocacy efforts on both sides of the Atlantic Continuum and across the developing economies of Asia and Africa: providing lawmakers and CEOs with the right SDG-driven legal, regulatory, financial economics and actuarial tools
These innovative tools help the pension community chart a course toward a better future for our children and their children, where, in the words of Harold Macmillan, we can truly “retain our heritage of political, intellectual and cultural freedom while, at the same time, open up the way to higher standards of social welfare and economic security”
