IPEBLA (International Pension and Benefits Lawyers Association) Presentation – August 30, 2022
This was a discussion given in Amsterdam, Netherlands at IPEBLA’s biennial conference. The title was “The Politicization of Pension Plans”. I have been speaking at their events since 2015 when I was the recipient of the Libby Slater Award for contribution to the pension industry. That event was held in Brussels, Belgium. I previously was on their panels in St. John’s, NL in 2016, Prague, Czechia in 2017, Boston, MA in 2018 and Lisbon, Portugal in 2019. Due to COVID, no conferences were held in 2020 and 2021.
My 2 co-presenters were pension lawyers from Canada and the U.S. The topic dealt with how pension plans have migrated over the years from the sleepy investment and human resources arena to the much more visible government and political stage. Included in this presentation are a number of statistics on the asset side of pensions in North America and the broader global picture.
