Amid market volatility and an ageing population, natural assets endure

Global finance is facing two demographic challenges. The first is the great wealth transfer now underway. Over the next quarter-century, $124trn will move from baby boomers to millennials and Gen Z. In 2025 alone, heirs inherited a record $297.8bn. This is set to be the largest wealth transfer in history, and along with it comes a shift in investment mindset because younger investors are increasingly approaching capital allocation differently. Some 99% of Gen Z and 97% of millennials express interest in sustainable investing. Within this, two-thirds of...

‘Generation war’ dogs pension debates in France and Germany

A generational reckoning is brewing in Paris and Berlin, where a new wave of younger politicians is putting pensioners on notice: The system is buckling and can’t hold unless retirees do more to help fix it. Culture, language and local politics may add a distinct flavor to each debate, but the European Union’s two biggest economies are dealing with the same issue — how to pay for the soaring costs associated with the retirement of baby boomers. The problem is both...

The concerns of Gen Z explores the financial realities of the youngest working cohort, while the generations deep-dive in the UK Pensions Framework 2025 provides a system-wide assessment of adequacy, sustainability and fairness. Together they reveal that, despite reforms such as automatic enrolment (AE), younger adults face structural obstacles that could leave them with lower retirement incomes than previous generations. Many Gen Z workers begin their...

Even Pope Leo XIV, arguably one of the busiest and most important people in the world, is taking a summer vacation. (True, his break includes six weeks off, something most of us can only dream of.) That’s why we were intrigued to see a new Gen Z term crop up. A...

"Unique financial pressures" are threatening the retirement prospects of Gen Z (ages 18-29), according to a new report from the Pensions Policy Institute (PPI) The report, The Concerns of Gen Z, found that despite "universal benefits" from automatic enrolment (AE) in workplace pension schemes, young people's ability to save is being constrained by economic uncertainty, high student debt, unaffordable housing, and changing employment patterns.
