Event: WorldPensionSummit 2021

The P&I WorldPensionSummit has, in 12 years, grown into a leading global event that is truly for and by pension professionals. The goal remains steadfast: to provide a platform for the strategic exchange of relevant pension market developments between asset owners, policy makers, experts and investment professionals.

Attendees will learn innovative ideas and strategies, discuss the future of pensions with global thought leaders and get fresh perspectives on how to tackle pension challenges and achieve sustainable pension provision. WorldPensionSummit offers analysis, insight and ample room for discussion among peers during three days of intensive learning. The LIVE event yearly welcomes  –  275 pension professionals from around the globe – to learn how they are putting pension industry best practices to work.

This year's theme is ‘Powering the Change’. In 2021, institutional investors are the new Masters of the Universe. With trillions of dollars, euros, renminbi and yen, institutional investors have amassed the financial power that can amplify their decisions. Rather than merely being the consumers of products, this group’s energy and influence can now impact society as a whole, helping to rebuild post-Covid-19 and work towards protecting the environment.

But this is not altruism: along with their growing financial power, these increasingly sophisticated investors have also been formulating strategies and risk management tools that better align with their own needs to provide comfortable, enjoyable, dignified retirement for their members.

There is also a growing recognition that there is more to providing this comfortable retirement than just offering a financial income. Today, institutional investors are leading their own charge, creating more relevant and resilient retirement systems that produce real-life, reliable outcomes. WorldPensionSummit gathers peers from around the world to debate, discuss and design a future where institutional investors don’t just push for change, they make it happen.
