For much of the relevant literature, the “Anglo-liberal” model is the least satisfactory approach to the provision of retirement pensions. This article addresses a particular aspect of the Anglo-liberal model, the investment of retirement savings in equities and other interest-bearing assets, to augment retirement benefits. The management of such investment pays insufficient attention to the externalities that may arise from corporate decision-making.
