EUROPEAN SAVERS AND INVESTORS WELCOME THE OFFER FROM «PENSIONS EUROPE» TO HELP BETTER FINANCE IN ITS RESEARCH EFFORTS TO IMPROVE TRANSPARENCY ON THE RETURNS OF PENSION SAVINGS
4 May 2017 - Following the publication by "Pension Europe" (“Pensions Europe opinion on the research on the quality and outcome of pension savings – Comparing apples and pears”), BETTER FINANCE clarified some misunderstandings as to the objectives, the methodology and scope of this research in a press release published today.
BETTER FINANCE welcomes the offer of cooperation that will enable us to further improve the next edition of the study. Indeed one of the difficulties we face is the absence of coherent data with a long historical perspective.
Our research goal is far more specific and far less ambitious than the one Pensions Europe highlights in its headlines: the aim is not to analyse “the quality and outcome of pension savings” but to improve the transparency on the real returns of pension savings in Europe; i.e. to get more information on the "value for money" of these products.
