IPE Real Estate

Real Estate Magazine - Investment & Pensions Europe is a monthly magazine targeting those responsible for running pension funds in Europe. Since our first issue was published in February 1997, IPE has built an influential position within the European institutional investor marketplace. We now have a monthly circulation of around 10,000, of which over 70% is in continental Europe.

The inspiration for the launch of IPE was the recognition that in the long term many European countries faced a serious challenge in meeting the retirement needs of their ageing populations. We realised that the long established and often over generous pay-as-you-go state pensions systems are not viable and would have to be supported by greater funding of pensions.

When IPE was launched, this crucial issue was not generally recognised. Since then, pensions have become a major concern in many countries and increased occupational and individual retirement provision is being encouraged. As a result, a major opportunity has been created for the asset management industry and others in the financial community to meet the needs of this expanding marketplace. IPE can play an important role in enabling them to deliver their message to our readers.

IPE provides an unparalleled conduit for those providing services to the European pensions community to reach this customer base effectively. We have created a unique database of pension funds country-by-country and continue to develop and refine this constantly to ensure IPE has the most comprehensive and well-targeted readership possible.
