Performance Analysis of Private Pension Companies in Türkiye: Entropy and TOPSIS Method
Abstract
The main purpose of the individual pension system is to direct the savings accumulated by individuals throughout their working lives into long-term investments, ensuring that they obtain an income to maintain their standard of living during retirement. Private pension companies are key components of the financial system, contributing to capital accumulation and fostering economic growth through the long-term funds they generate. This study seeks to assess the financial performance of thirteen private pension companies operating in Türkiye, utilizing eight financial ratios based on data from 2022. Initially, the entropy method was employed to determine the weight of each financial ratio criterion. Subsequently, the TOPSIS method was applied for performance analysis. According to the TOPSIS results, a ranking of private pension companies was established, identifying Viennalife Pension.
