Polish Delegation Visits SVIA
Government officials charged with
privatizing Poland's pension program paid a visit to SVIA headquarters in
Washington, DC last week to learn more about the Stable Value option from
John Hancock's Wayne Gates, SVIA Board Member and Co-Chair of the Data and
Research Committee, and Gina Mitchell, SVIA President.
The twelve-member group was made up of officials from the Poland pension
fund regulator, Urza Nadzoru nad Funduszami Emerytalnymi, (UNFE). The UNFE
officials stopped in Washington as part of a larger study tour arranged
by Pricewaterhouse Coopers. The tour was designed to enhance UNFE's institutional
capacity to supervise the voluntary employee pension plans by broadening
the knowledge and networks of its key staff.
Wayne and Gina began the meeting with an informative presentation on the
benefits of Stable Value. The group was particularly interested in SVIA's
efforts to educate plan sponsors and the general public. Their concerns
included market volatility, specifically the chance that an investor might
lose everything, and how to ensure voluntary participation by plan sponsors
and employees.
SVIA is honored to have been included in UNFE's study tour. The Association's
efforts are being noticed, and that is a tribute to every member. Clearly,
interest in Stable Value is growing worldwide.
