Welcome
Pensions
are a major public policy issue in most OECD countries and it is not difficult
to understand why. In most countries, pensions represent a large fraction
of government fiscal obligations, a burden which is forecasted to increase
yet further as the "baby boom" generation approaches retirement. At the same
time, private pensions are a major component of financial markets (for example,
in the UK the value of pension funds is about 2/3 of GDP) and an important
contributor to savings, investment and economic growth.
The Pensions Institute
(PI) is the first and only U.K. academic research centre focused entirely
on pensions research. The purpose of this centre is to serve as a clearinghouse
for information on pensions, with particular emphasis on the U.K. system,
and to publicize PI research and activities.

- Is the Pensions Industry Burying It's Head in the Sand?
"Apocalyptic
demography? Putting longevity risk in perspective" which was
published on 29 April 2008 has been funded by, and produced in association
with, the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), the only international
accountancy body with a sole focus on business. This report and checklist
allows finance directors to put longevity risk in perspective by focusing
on issues such as current life expectancy, projected life expectancy and the
types of longevity risk to which their organisation may be susceptible. It
will also help them when discussing, with their actuary, the basis of mortality
assumptions used in estimating their scheme liabilities.
