(March 22, 2013) — If a picture tells a thousand words, then this interactive map from Allianz Global Investors communicates thousands of assets too.
The map features in the financial institution’s latest edition of its Project M publication and highlights global pension trends.
Among the various functions, it tracks the migration process from defined benefit to defined contribution pensions and who has made the quickest transition.
It also measures the amount pension assets represent of each of the major 45 countries’ GDP – and the amount the average citizen is saving for retirement.
Project M contains a guest article by aiCIO columnist, and member of our leading academics list “The Professors“, David Blake.
For a real fright, click on the slide showing the old-age dependency ratio and move the date forward to the year 2100.
