IFoA Greater China Regional Webinar

Explore the Development of the Pensions Market in China Based on Global Experience

The IFoA Greater China team will hold a webinar "Explore the Development of the Pensions Market in China Based on Global Experience" at 19.00-20.30 (GMT+8) on Tuesday, 27 December 2022.

We are very pleased to have Mr Steven Yang Yu (FIA) as the keynote speaker. 

In April 2022, China's personal pensions system has been officially announced. As the third pillar of the government-supported pensions system, this system has attracted a lot of attention. On 25 November 2022, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security of China announced the official implementation of the personal pensions system, which has once again become a hot topic nationwide. In view of this, this webinar will share the experience of the UK pensions industry, including but not limited to policies, products, investment management and services, compare with the history and current situation of China's pensions market, and look into the development trend and prospects of the industry.

This webinar is free and open to all IFoA members. Kindly note that this regional webinar will be delivered in Mandarin Chinese.
