The Pan-European Trade Association for Financial Advisers and Intermediaries (FECIF) announced the creation of the FECIF European Pension Institute (FEPI) on Monday 11th of June. Determined to have more say on the ongoing development of a PEPP (pan-European Personal Pension Product), FECIF Board Member Daphne Foulkes will Chair the Institute. Commenting on the launch, Foulkes stated that: “the subject of additional pension provision is now more than ever on the table, with the PEPP issues in mid-2017 and the recent working paper released by EP on the same topic”.
In order to count on the expertise of prominent experts in the field, BETTER FINANCE’s Managing Director, Guillaume Prache, was nominated to the board alongside Florence Legros from the ICN Business School and Professor at Université Dauphine in Paris.
The aim of the Institute will be to support the development of pension solutions, especially with regard to the urgency of addressing the European pensions gap and promoting the development of personal pension offerings that are consumer-oriented. While some findings and results will be exclusively available to the FEPI and its members, FEPI board member Paul Stanfield, who already holds chief executive roles at FECIF and FEIFA, explained that “when relevant, the institute will publicly publish the results of its research and analysis”.
