Global asset supervision

Article Abstract:

Multinational companies can bring consistency, cost-effectiveness and efficiency to the management of pension fund assets by adopting a global asset management structure. This can be achieved by hiring a single manager or employing a 'preferred' group of managers to oversee global assets systematically. Shifting to such a structure, however, requires the participation of managers in the different locations where the company operates and ensuring that all participants are treated as equal partners.

Investment: pension fund asset management

Article Abstract:

Pension funds are underdeveloped in Belgium compared to that of the Netherlands. This is due to a perception of a generous social security system, group insurance predominance, inadequate private sector coverage, insufficient interest, inadequate laws and over-regulation of investments. However, the dynamism of Belgium's pension fund asset structure has led to its growth. A comparison of the benefits of internal versus external managment is discussed.
