Enabling Employees to Achieve Their Potential
The programme in “Management of Risk-Based Supervision of Pension Funds; a Contemporary Approach” will review the design and experience of risk-based pension fund supervision in countries that have been leaders in the development of these methods.
The use of risk-based methods began principally in the supervision of banks, however, in recent years it has increasingly been extended to other types of financial intermediaries, including pension funds and insurers.
The development toward risk-based supervision of pensions reflects an increasing focus on risk management in both banking and insurance based on three key elements: capital requirements, supervisory review, and market discipline. Although similar in concept to the techniques developed in banking, its application to pension funds has required modifications, particularly for defined contribution funds that transfer investment risk to fund members.
The programme utilises recent practical case studies from Australia, Denmark, Mexico, and the Netherlands to provide a range of experience that illustrates both the diversity of pension systems and the approaches to risk-based supervision. It also presents a commonality of focus on sound risk management and effective supervisory / oversight outcomes, it is therefore essential for new generation managers pension fund risks
