LONDON, May 5, 2015 - (ACN Newswire) - Interviews with Mohamed El-Erian and Eloy Lindeijer, speakers at the marcus evans European Pensions & Investments Summit 2015, taking place in Montreux, Switzerland, 8 - 10 June, 2015.
Mohamed El-Erian, Chair of President, Obama's Global Development Council, Chief Economic Advisor at Allianz, Former CEO & Co-Chief Investment Officer of PIMCO
With banks facing both operational shrinkage and a stubborn trust deficit, institutional investors can and should play a larger role in mobilising investible funds and allocating them to productive uses. In so doing, they would better serve a real economy that, in too many places, continues to operate well-below potential and continuously frustrates the legitimate aspirations of millions of citizens.
Having said that, there is nothing assured or automatic about the proper and effective response of institutional investors. They would need to work smarter, modernise their tools, have a better mix of resilience and agility, and be more cognitively diverse in how they analyse an unusually-fluid global economy. They would also benefit from governments that are more responsive in improving the enabling environment and re-invigorating economic growth models, particularly through investments in human and physical resources.
Eloy Lindeijer, CIO, PGGM
A stable financial system that serves the real economy should be a priority for long-term institutional investors and their beneficiaries. Responsible investing generates financial as well as social returns. We can contribute to financial stability by complementing banks in the supply of long-term finance, and investing countercyclically.
We also have a role to play in improving the conduct of financial market participants, including our own. We advocate using long-term performance targets, integrating ESG factors in the investment process, and promoting transparency in financial markets. For example, this could lead to including qualitative criteria such as transparency on risk culture and client satisfaction levels in the review of counterparty and broker limits.
