November 2019 (Magazine) by Paula Garrido
The Spanish pension fund industry gathered in Madrid last month to remember Jon Aldecoa and launch awards that bear his name.
Aldecoa, who died in 2018, was one of the outstanding experts in the Spanish pension sector. A consultant, professor and thinker, he dedicated his career to the promotion of complementary pensions and pioneered socially responsible investments.
The Jon Aldecoa Awards, an initiative of the pension mutuality, Loreto Mutua, recognizes individuals or organizations that excel in the provision of supplementary pensions.
In its first year, the awards went to the OECD, for its work to promote sustainable pensions, and for the Law of the Basque Country on Voluntary Social Forecasting Entities (EPSV), which was one of the first pieces of Spanish legislation regulating supplementary pensions, which this year celebrates its 35th anniversary
Aldecoa, a Basque, was technical secretary at the Basque EPSV Federation for almost a decade, before moving on to consulting. As a regular commentator on pension investments, he was a judge at the IPE Awards for several years.
For Jon Aramburu, managing director of Loreto Mutua, the awards have the dual objective of paying tribute to Aldecoa and providing a forum for the debate on the future of Spanish pensions.
He also sees them as a meeting point for those who believe in “the need to reach some kind of political-social agreement across the country that finally develops a coherent and necessary social welfare model.”
Novaster’s Diego Valero says Aldecoa has left a “huge legacy” in both the development of supplementary pensions and sustainable investment.
“Jon was always ahead of the market and for me personally it was an honor and a pleasure to accompany him, ” he said
