This EA system, comprised of voluntary contribution pension plans, is part of the three pillars of the Chinese pension system. Reuters move to build the new pension index is timely as China continues efforts to diversify the country's national pension fund following the latest step towards allowing corporate pension funds to invest in China's stock markets. Alex Hungate, Reuters Asia Managing Director said: "Pension reform is essential to long term prosperity in China. Reuters is the first to provide market participants with an industry benchmark that the pensions industry can use to judge performance of enterprise annuities." Reuters built the Pension Index in response to a strong demand from both local and foreign investors for benchmark indices on the developing pension industry in China. Market participants need to assess their portfolio management performance and government regulators need to measure the progress and development of its enterprise annuity system.

As the EA market is expected to invest heavily into the funds market, Reuters has plans to provide enhanced asset management content and services to support the need for investment of annuities in China. "China has recently allowed insurance companies to invest in overseas listed Chinese securities and is now studying the possibility of allowing the national pension fund to diversify in a wider range of assets abroad. With the launch of the Reuters China Pension Index, Reuters is well prepared to meet the demand for benchmark indices that these changes will create," said Serena Wang, Managing Director in Reuters China. As China's asset management market expands, Reuters is set to develop a series of EA indices based on China market environment, investment guideline from regulatory agencies, and requirements for performance measurement. In developing these indices, Reuters has consulted with relevant regulatory agencies as well as sought market validation from participants, including asset managers, trustees, administrators and custodian banks.
