Africa
Pension Funds Excellence 
& Awards Summit

27 - 29 June 2023

This summit unpacks how the COVID-19 crisis is impacting African pension fund approaches to portfolio management

Summit Overview

 

Ahead of the onset of the COVID-19 crisis, local pension sectors had been growing rapidly
across the African region since the late 2000s. Further development and appropriate regulation of local pension funds and other institutional investors with longer-term investment horizons could enable these financial institutions to become important sources of local finance for infrastructure and other longer-term socioeconomic development needs.

​

Topics Covered:

​

  • Characteristics of the largest emerging Sub-Saharan African pension markets

  • Overview of direct impact of the crisis on the pension fund sector

  • Expected impact in the short-to-medium term on large emerging pension systems’ portfolio management

  • Challenges and opportunities going forward, post-crisis

 

This summit unpacks how the COVID-19 crisis is impacting African pension fund approaches to portfolio management
