Against the backdrop of accelerating population aging, China has entered a new phase of addressing its challenges and opportunities. On November 29, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) China Office and Industrial Securities Co.,Ltd. jointly released a report titled "New Opportunities in the Silver Economy: Building an Inclusive and Sustainable Pension Ecosystem," exploring how policy innovation, financial empowerment, and social collaboration can collectively establish a more inclusive, sustainable, and innovative pension ecosystem.
At the conference, Su Junliang, Chairman of Industrial Securities Co.,Ltd., stated that population aging has become a critical strategic issue impacting national development. Proactively addressing aging and developing the silver economy are key focal points for China's sustainable development. Industrial Securities has opened nearly 700,000 individual pension investment accounts, while its subsidiary Industrial Global Fund's pension FOF products have reached nearly RMB 6 billion in total assets under management. The firm's inaugural pension target fund has delivered an 84.25% return since inception and ranked first in investment performance among peer products over the past three years.
Key points from the report: 1. Population aging has emerged as a pivotal national strategic challenge, with active aging response and silver economy development becoming central to China's sustainable growth. From the "14th Five-Year Plan" explicitly proposing the "National Strategy for Active Response to Population Aging" to financial sector priorities highlighting pension finance as a key growth driver, policy frameworks continue strengthening institutional foundations for pension ecosystem development.
2. As a state-owned financial institution established during China's capital market formation, Industrial Securities Co.,Ltd. has consistently aligned with national strategies and social responsibilities. The firm has pioneered personal pension financial services, becoming among the first brokerages to pilot individual pension product distribution. Its pension finance business leads the securities industry, with nearly 700,000 pension investment accounts opened and RMB 6 billion in pension FOF assets under subsidiary Industrial Global Fund.
3. Looking ahead, Industrial Securities Co.,Ltd. will deepen innovation in pension finance under the guidance of the "15th Five-Year Plan" framework. Initiatives include expanding pension product offerings, enhancing lifecycle wealth management services, increasing fintech investments to improve elderly-friendly services, advancing investor education, and fostering cross-sector collaboration in policy research and product innovation. The firm remains committed to building an inclusive, sustainable, and dynamic pension ecosystem through collective efforts.
