BIPM Pension Fund Advisory Board (CIPM-PFAB)

Mission

The Pension Fund Advisory Board (PFAB) was set up by the CIPM in its decision CIPM/104-33 of 16 October 2015. The PFAB takes over the responsibilities of the CIPM Sub-Committee on the BIPM Pension and Provident Fund and Health Insurance relating to pensions.

The decision stems from Resolution 3 (2014), On the Pension and Provident Fund of the BIPM, adopted by the CGPM on 20 November 2014.

The Pension Fund Advisory Board advises the CIPM on the long-term sustainability of the Pension and Provident Fund of the BIPM, and submits advisory opinions to the CIPM, in particular on:

• the investment policy of the Fund;
• the Fund's financial statements;

• the Fund's resources;
• the review and modification of rules and regulations within the remit of the CIPM that are related to the Fund; and

For this purpose, the Advisory Board formulates recommendations to the CIPM when provided for by applicable provisions, upon request by the CIPM or when the Board considers it necessary.
