Pension Fund Research and Whitepapers

Global Directory of Research for Pension Funds

Global Directory of Pensions Research

Our Directory of Pension Fund research and whitepapers provides professional pensions research for those working within the pension fund, retirement and superannuation industries. The global pensions research directory is powered by Savvy Investor, the world’s leading reference hub for institutional investors, and all research is entirely free.

To immediately access the complete library of pensions research papers, visit the full listing of pension fund articles and white papers; this will open up search filters which allow you to search for pension fund content by region, and between DB pensions and DC pensions.

If it’s “most popular” content you’re looking for then you’ll find we’ve created a list of the Top Pensions & Investments White Papers for the last year. To include your white paper, report or other content in our library of pensions research papers, click the “feature your whitepaper” link at the bottom of this page.

Within our library of pension fund research and white papers, you will find content authored by asset management companies, by investment consultants, by academics, by regulators and by professional bodies, such as the PLSA (Pension and Lifetime Savings Association) in the UK and also the Pensions Management Institute. In Australia, for instance, we host content written by the AIST (Australian Institute of Superannuation Trustees). In all countries, this will include research authored by the top investment consultants.

Savvy Investor has a dedicated section for the best articles and papers on defined benefit pensions, and also for white papers and articles on defined contribution pensions plans. The Defined Benefits pensions research section of the site will include the top papers on cashflow-driven investing, pensions risk management, the top papers on liability-driven investing and de-risking, long-term investing, fiduciary management and strategic asset allocation for pension funds.

The Defined Contributions section will include papers on DC plan design, investment options, auto-enrolment, default glide-paths and target-date funds. Also pensions governance, employee communication and stewardship principles for pensions trustees. If you wish to go directly to DC Pensions research papers, you will find articles covering DC plan design, investment menus, TDFs, member engagement and much more besides. To find specific research content, enter your keyword into the search bar above, hit “search” and then click the button for “articles and white papers”.

Amongst the most popular content within our Pensions Reference Hub is our coverage of The World’s Largest Pension Funds. We also host awards for the Best Pensions Research Papers of the year, which we repeat each December.

In addition to being a hub for professional pensions research, Savvy Investor also has a Global Directory of Pensions Conferences. These events are aimed specifically at pension fund managers, pension fund trustees, Directors of Pensions and others in a professional pensions role. Many of these conference provide great networking opportunities, so will also be attended by asset management sales & marketing executives, and The World’s Top Investment Consultants. Clicking the link above will take you to a search filter where you can search for Pension Conferences by location, date and topic. The Conference Directory is again completely free for members to access.
