Tuesday 5 July marked the start of the fourth edition of the LSE Global Pensions Programme (GPP), in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Adam Austerfield, Director of Global Markets at LSE Enterprise, introduced the programme. The day included keynote sessions from Ms Luciane Ribeiro, the CEO of Santander Asset Management (Brazil); Professor Nick Barr, LSE; and Diego Valero, CEO of Novaster.
At a complex time in the Brazilian economy, pension reform is one of the top government priorities for the coming years. Around 100 participants from across Latin America are taking part in the programme. Over three and a half days, the delegates will discuss and debate major challenges in the sector. Finding yield in low-interest rate environments; pension system reform; and asset management strategies for large pension funds all feature in the programme. The participants are senior executives from regulators, pension funds, asset management groups and supervisory bodies.
Previous LSE GPP iterations in Mexico, the United States and Spain were a great success, with the support of Santander Asset Management and programme input from Novaster. We have a very high calibre of participants and expert speakers. We are particularly pleased this year to be in Brazil, where LSE Enterprise has increasing interests and activities, alongside our collaborators and partners.
