Don’t forget... 10 December 1998
There has been considerable interest in recent plans to pave the way for employers to establish a pan-European pension plan through test cases in the European Court of Justice. Insurers are also considering ways in which they might be able to offer a single pan-European policy of the future. Even without new legislation and pan-European products, there are plenty of opportunities for an employer to arrange occupational pensions across Europe in a financially efficient way. Risk reduction also has a high priority for many companies; much can be done now to reduce possible fluctuations in future costs and avoid adverse effects of poor governance.
On 10 December 1998, Watson Wyatt is holding an International Discussion Group on ‘Creating value from European pensions’ in London. Simon Gilliat from our international practice in the UK will discuss best practice in obtaining value from a coordinated approach to pension provision across Europe. He will also explore the inherent difficulties in achieving this and where pan-European legislation may be able to help. Sue Douse from our investment practice will look in detail at the investment issues and the opportunities for cost savings and assess the aims and the likely success of the various initiatives currently in progress.
If you or any of your colleagues would like to attend this discussion group, please contact your usual Watson Wyatt consultant or send an e:mail to Jayne Walker in our Reigate office at Jayne Walker.
