This study investigates the Turkish pension system and suggests a new model to solve the current problems of the system by structuring a sustainable model which may also be applied worldwide. A comprehensive pension system and comparative return analysis of different investment tools are conducted, and the new model is proposed based on creating a new pool of new investment tools consists of asset-based capital market instruments that are issued for long-term specific investment projects financing.
