European Pension Survey

Our European Pension Fund Survey presents insights from 126 senior managers and executives of defined benefit pension schemes on their market outlook and allocation plans, the role of sustainability in their investment strategies and their use of outsourced asset management services.

Insights from European Pension Funds

Europe’s defined benefit pension funds have cause for optimism in 2024. They emerged from the economic challenges of the past two years with improved funding levels, providing greater leeway as they plan for the future. The investment climate remains uncertain, with higher-for-longer rates and slower growth expected in most advanced economies, but opportunities abound in public and private markets for investors with a diversified and risk-conscious approach.

Our European Pension Fund Survey captures the views of defined benefit pension experts at this pivotal moment on key issues from the potential risks posed by geopolitical tensions and the 2024 election super cycle to the attractiveness of investment opportunities in core fixed income and private credit. The survey demonstrates the importance of sustainable investing for many pension funds and looks at their plans for outsourcing portfolio management.
