List Of Pension Funds

There are countless pension funds out there and in a variety of types. There are open and closed pension funds. Open pension funds providing at least one pension plan with membership available to anyone. Closed pension funds are just that, closed except to a certain group of people usually associated with an employer. Closed pension funds may also be broken down into Single Employer pension funds and Multi-employer pension funds. Multi-employer pension funds are usually a group of similar business who join together to form pension funds. For example, a group of steel mills or trucking companies join their resources to build a pension fund. Single employer pension funds are usually formed by large employers who do not necessarily need the additional resources of similar companies to provide a sufficient investment base upon which to build.

There are also public and private pension funds. Public pension funds are regulated under public sector law while private funds are, quite obviously, regulated under private sector law. Sometimes the distinguishing line between public or government pension funds and private ones can be difficult to determine.
