World Finance Pension Fund Awards 2024

In the World Finance Pension Fund Awards 2024, we recognise those who continue to demonstrate an innovative and dynamic approach in a challenging environment

 
June 23, 2024

A recent article by Martin Sanders, Head of Pension Investments at AXA, highlighted three key points: subdued global economic growth in 2024, “with some pick-up in 2025,” a continued rise in the demand for sustainable investments, and the observation that “fixed income has become increasingly attractive for pension funds” due to multi-year highs in bond yields. The expectation going forward is that inflation will remain elevated but should slow by 2025, with most developed markets avoiding recession. Meanwhile, pension funds will continue to add “more resources to sustainable and impact investments in all asset classes, most likely equity and bonds.” Another potential agitator in the global economy is the US Presidential Election in November. This, along with the challenges that Sanders highlights are what the winners of the World Finance Pension Fund Awards have so expertly navigated over the past year, combining risk, portfolio and investment strategy management, as well as performance evaluation.
