Abstract:

Europe is an ageing continent which puts strain on pension systems across the Union. Combined with consistent low interest rates, the responsibility to acquire an adequate retirement is increasingly shifting towards the individual, for example by the move from DB to DC pension plans. This research examines techniques and measures to protect pension scheme members and pension product owners via a legal comparative analysis of Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom and tries to extract recommendations.
