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...

US. Millenials are the most educated generation…yet the most broke

Millennials, born between 1981 and 1996, hold more college degrees than any previous generation in U.S. history. Roughly 40% have earned at least a bachelor's degree. But despite their academic achievements, many are confronting a harsh economic reality: they're significantly behind previous generations when it comes to wealth building and financial security.

US. The Economic Implications Of Aging Boomers And Emerging Millennials

More than 4 million Baby Boomers, born 1946-1964, are reaching 65 each year through 2027, and they are exiting the labor force in droves. Meanwhile, the core labor force is growing at a snail’s pace. Since 2000, the population of 25- to 54-year-olds has grown by only 7%. How the U.S. manages these converging demographic trends will be a monumental challenge in the years ahead. With an aging population, the government will face higher obligations for medical and Social Security costs. There will be fewer workers...

US. Gen X is the least confident about retirement as ‘crunch time’ nears—and has done less to prepare than boomers or millennials

The cohort once derided as the “slacker generation” is about to start heading into retirement, and many Gen Xers aren’t feeling so optimistic about it after not doing as much to get ready. Only 62% of Gen Xers feel confident about “being able to financially support all the things they want to do in life,” according to Allianz Life Insurance’s 2024 annual retirement study. That’s well below baby boomers (82%) and millennials (77%). To be sure, the simple fact that Gen X...

Millennials vs. Boomers: Which Generation Is Better Prepared for Retirement?

Many boomers are currently retired or on the cusp of retirement, so it wouldn’t be a far-off guess to assume that boomers are better prepared financially for this phase of life. However, a recent Vanguard study found that millennials are actually better prepared for retirement than baby boomers. The study found that millennials who are median-income earners will be able to generate sustainable retirement income equal to 58% of their pre-retirement earnings, while median-income boomers will be able to generate sustainable retirement income...
