EU pension review a decisive moment for European PE/VC 🌟 Last week, the European Commission published proposals to improve the EU pension ecosystem. After years of work to influence the IOPR Directive, the review marks an important step towards a recognition that long-term private assets are more relevant to EU’s stability than traditional assets. The Commission’s proposal moves away from an approach that largely disincentivised investments in private markets, as the guidance on the implementation of the prudent person principle makes it clear that private equity, venture capital and infrastructure funds should be part of a well-diversified long term investment strategy.

Why invest in Europe’s quiet power? 🇪🇺 During European Retirement Week, we look at how global pension funds are facing a generational challenge: how to make retirement promises to hold up in a world that’s changed. With people now living much longer, and in a low-yield, low-growth environment, pension funds now need to generate strong, sustainable, risk-adjusted returns that can support members over decades. That’s where private equity comes in. Private capital provides what pension funds truly need: ✅ Patient, long-term capital aligned with their time horizons ✅ Freedom from short-term market pressures ✅ Consistent outperformance versus public markets over time Beyond returns, private equity fuels economic growth, helping businesses expand, innovate, and create jobs. That’s a powerful virtuous circle: thriving companies strengthen economies, which in turn strengthen pension systems. Why invest in Europe?
