Tijdens deze bijeenkomst wordt het tussenresultaat van de Netspar projectgroep “Pensioenplicht voor alle werkenden” gepresenteerd en is er veel ruimte voor discussie en feedback. De vraag of een pensioenplicht voor alle werkenden verstandig is komt niet aan de orde. De projectgroep richt zich op de vraag hoe een eventuele pensioenplicht vormgegeven zou kunnen worden.

Bescherming tegen renterisico, inkomens- en inflatierisico in het nieuwe pensioencontract – Daniel Mantilla Garcia – After-lunch webinar

This paper develops a framework for managing interest-rate conversion risk in the new Dutch pension contract, a collective defined contribution system in which multiple generations share investment risk and protection objectives. We show that a simple return-protection strategy can deliver these targets even under extreme scenarios for the risky portfolio.
