Stakeholder-balanced Plan Design and
Investment & Risk Management Strategy

About the ongoing management of expectations, objectives, risks and returns of
stakeholders of DB plans

An aging population is like a creeping landslide with very destructive powers to the sustainability of DB pension schemes. The tension within the system is increasing and shocks like the recent financial crisis clearly show the fundamental vulnerability of the underlying system.
Attacking this DB challenge not only involves recognizing the various stakeholders in the pension deal, but also requires ongoing management of the objectives, risks and returns of the stakeholders in the plan.
 
The program has been designed to help you finding answers on the following questions :

1. What forces are influencing the balance between stakeholder interests in the US and in Sweden?
2. How have stakeholder views changed in the Netherlands and what is the impact on risk and investment management?
3. How do we design the pension fund of the future? Your active participation is asked for this part in particular!
