A social wealth fund owns companies and isn't a named person. So does any pension fund.

Pensions are owned by people. Social wealth funds can be an exception if required. These are not difficult problems to solve.

No they aren't, that's the point of a defined-benefit system like a pension. You don't own it but instead get guaranteed payments from it.

Owning things involves risk; it's not always good.

You have a defined benefit pension? In the UK they've all gone contribution.

So my pension is owned by me. I can buy an annuity from that but there's no reason that can't be a service company owned by a person just like insurance.

Again, it's solvable.
