OECD/IOPS consults on good practices for the regulation and supervision of pension funds’ risk management systems

06 July 2010

The consultation covers the role of management in the risk management process, looks at investment risk, solvency risk and operational control, and the risk management mechanisms.

The Draft OECD/IOPS Good Practices for the Regulation and Supervision of Pension Funds’ Risk Management Systems aim to outline the main features of risk management systems which pension funds employ.
They cover the role of management in the risk management process, look in greater detail at investment risk, solvency risk and operational risk (including outsourcing) control, and the risk management mechanisms which should be in place (including monitoring and reporting). The good practices also provide guidance for pension fund regulators and supervisors on how to check that such systems are not only in place but are operating efficiently.
 
The deadline for receiving comments is 3 September 2010.
