Pension Funding in France industry analysis

The Pension Funding industry in France has navigated complex economic conditions in recent years, ranging from regulatory changes to erratic capital markets. Although a notable point of contention among workers, the increase in the retirement age from 62 to 64 in 2023 is set to support pension funds by increasing the duration of time that contributions are made. This will support asset values and improve the funding position of pension schemes, driving investment activity. Revenue is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 2.3% over the five years through 2025 to €26.2 billion, including estimated growth of 3.9% in 2025.

Trends and Insights

  • Precarious financial markets hit investment income. The rising base rate environment and subdued economic growth have hurt both the equity and bonds markets, weighing on investment income.
  • Low interest rates trigger a shift away from DB schemes. DB schemes have struggled in the low interest rate environment, making it difficult for pension funds to compensate for higher inflation.
  • The pension funding market remains fragmented. However, concentration varies across different countries in Europe; some have a larger number of smaller funds, while others are dominated by a few large funds.
