Group 1: Current State of Pension Finance - Pension finance is recognized as an essential part of the third pillar of retirement savings, with significant potential to enhance China's pension security framework [1]. - The banking wealth management industry has developed a substantial scale, exceeding 32 trillion yuan, with over 40,000 existing products and 140 million investors, providing a solid foundation for the growth of pension finance [1]. - Despite this growth, there remains considerable room for improvement in the number of investors and distribution channels compared to public funds [1]. Group 2: Challenges in Pension Finance Development - Four major challenges are identified: 1. Demand-side issues, where residents have not yet formed a long-term investment mindset, and a prevalent preference for capital preservation [2]. 2. Supply-side challenges, where product differentiation is insufficient, making it hard to distinguish pension products from regular wealth management products [2]. 3. Investment-side limitations, characterized by a lack of long-term asset supply and limited quality investment targets [2]. 4. Ecological challenges, where the integration of financial services and pension services is inadequate [2]. Group 3: Future Directions for Pension Finance - Future advancements in pension finance will focus on five key areas: 1. Maintaining a prudent investment style to leverage wealth management companies' strengths in asset allocation, thereby building a positive reputation for pension finance [2]. 2. Expanding customer coverage to enrich pension scenarios [2]. 3. Utilizing special policy arrangements for pension finance, including smoothing mechanisms and innovative valuation methods to stabilize investor expectations [2]. 4.
