CFA Society South Africa 2025 Mercer CFA Institute Global Pension Index Report Webinar

CFA Society South Africa, in collaboration with Mercer, Alexforbes, and Old Mutual Namibia, invites you to a webinar on the 2025 Mercer CFA Institute Global Pension Index . The 2025 Mercer CFA Institute Global Pension Index reviews 52 retirement income systems around the world, following the inclusion of Kuwait, Namibia, Oman and Panama in 2025. The Index examines how these systems can best support retirees amid a world where fertility rates are falling and life expectancy is rising. These demographic trends present challenges for all pension arrangements, whether pay-as-you-go public pensions or funded private pensions. Retirement income systems are at a crisis point as a result of these demographic shifts, and many countries need to address this challenge before it is too late. Join us as our speaker Tim Jenkins unpack the findings of the 2025 Mercer CFA Institute Global Pension Index Report, providing a comprehensive comparison of global pension systems, with a particular focus on the unique challenges and successes of the African countries featured in the report — South Africa, Botswana, and newly included Namibia.
