Pension


Organized form of saving for retirement. Pension schemes, which may be government-run or privately administered, involve regular payment for a qualifying period; when the person retires, a payment is made each week or month from the invested pension fund. Pension funds have become influential investors in major industries; 44% of UK shares are owned by pension funds (1995).
