Response to European Commission Targeted Consultation on Supplementary Pensions
Positions & consultation responses
Invest Europe responded to the EC targeted consultation on supplementary pensions, calling for the removal of restrictions to pension fundsβ investments in our asset class. This response is part of a general charge against EU rules that prevent the ability of our members to raise funds from institutional investors. We argue that there is a natural alignment between the long-term liabilities of pension funds and the long-term outlook of unlisted funds β making pension funds the best placed to be investors in EU businesses through these funds. We suggest that the prudent person principle under Article 19 should not be interpreted in a way that discourages or indirectly restricts investments in long-term assets that contribute to innovation and economic growth.
