The pension fund market includes financial institutions and specialized organizations that manage long-term investments to finance workers' pensions. The different types of offerings in the pension fund market include:
Defined contribution pension funds: contributions are defined at the outset and the pension depends on the amount accumulated.
Definedbenefit pension funds: the pension is defined in advance and contributions are adjusted to meet the target.
Hybrid pension funds: combination of defined contribution and defined benefit.
Individual pension plans: allow workers to create a personal pension fund, such as PIRs (Individual Savings Plans).
Company pension funds: offered by companies to their employees as part of their compensation package.
Since 1993, pension funds have been introduced in Italy as supplementary forms of retirement provision to the mandatory public pension system. There are two types of pension funds: closed pension funds, reserved for specific occupational categories, and open pension funds, aimed mainly at the self-employed and the self-employed. Pension funds operate on the principle of individual capitalization, where the final benefit depends on the contributions made and the financial management of resources. Pension funds represent a category of institutional investors with a long investment horizon. In the current context, it is important to understand their role in financial markets and their impact on economic and social development.[Social security itineraries]
