‘Markets Are Wrong’: $2 Trillion of Pension Funds Skip Bond Rout

As interest-rate jitters supercharged a meltdown in the world’s biggest bond market, Sam Sicilia barely blinked. “The markets are wrong” about inflation expectations, said Sicilia, chief investment officer of the A$56 billion ($43 billion) Host-Plus Pty pension fund in Melbourne. “Deflationary forces are bigger. Interest rates are going to stay at effectively zero.” With governments around the globe still adding to trillions of dollars of stimulus to ride out the pandemic, pension fund managers who are trying to discern the long-term...

China’s aging population is a bigger challenge than its ‘one-child’ policy, economists say

China’s decades-old one-child policy gained renewed attention in the last few weeks, after authorities gave mixed signals on whether they were closer to abolishing limits on how many children people can have. Authorities have rolled back the controversial one-child policy in recent years to allow people to have two children. But economists say other changes are needed for boosting growth as births fall and China’s population rapidly ages. “There are two ways to address this. One way is to relax the...

Latin American Sovereigns Are at a Pension Reform Crossroads

Fitch Ratings-London/New York-25 February 2021: Fiscal challenges and social grievances are adding urgency to a new wave of pension reforms in Latin America that could be relevant for sovereign ratings, Fitch Ratings says in a new report. Latin America’s population is still among the world’s youngest, but it is ageing at one of the fastest paces, and its savings patterns stand out as being especially low given the coming demographic pressure. But reform efforts will face challenges after years of...

US. With lower returns on the horizon, public pensions will turn to riskier assets, Moody’s says

State and local government pension systems are increasingly dependent on investment returns, and at risk of increasingly volatile results, as funding levels remain depressed and systems increasingly start to pay out more than they take in, according to a new report from Moody’s. The credit-ratings agency anticipates higher volatility and lower returns across asset classes in 2021 compared to 2020, even as many pension sponsors have spent the past few years lowering their assumed returns from previous loftier targets that...

However, certain types of platform work are also associated with precarious working conditions, reflected...
