As part of internal consultations with the OECD Working Party on Private Pensions, the TUAC has submitted written comments (see attached pdf file) on a draft proposal of OECD / IOPS “Good Practices on Alternative and Derivative Investments”.

These can be regrouped under three headings:

  • To acknowledge the challenges created by the many regulatory gaps that – still – characterise the industry as well as by the excessive use of leverage financing; 
  • To develop further guidance on the practical aspects to risk management and internal governance from a board perspective;
  • To strengthen the requirements of independence of the risk officers and the consultancies involved in outsourcing activities.
