Asset pooling promises considerable benefits for companies with pension plans in multiple countries. However, following the early high profile introduction of pension asset pooling by several of the world’s largest multinational corporations, asset pooling has received little attention – largely as a result of the expense of creating tailor-made solutions. The introduction of multi-client asset pooling in 2009 changed the equation, making the benefits of asset pooling available to companies of all sizes. As asset pooling comes of age, it is time to look again at how companies can exploit the benefits it offers.
In the white paper, we examine the issues that multinational companies face in managing their pensions, and introduce asset pooling. Having discussed the diversity of pensions and pensions systems in Europe today, we explore the different pooling solutions available and show how multi-client asset pooling now offers a robust and future-ready solution for companies of all sizes. Finally, we provide five guidelines on how companies can implement asset pooling.
