This book was released on 2004-09-01 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pension reform in several emerging market countries has been associated with rapid growth in assets under management and a positive impact on the development of local securities markets. However, limitations on such development may lead to asset price distortions, bubbles, and concentration of risks. Regulatory limits on pension fund investments are assessed in light of these risks and developments in modern portfolio theory. A gradual but decisive loosening of restrictions on equity and foreign investments is recommended. Changes in these regulations ought to be coordinated with measures designed to foster the development of local securities markets as well as with macroeconomic policies.

Download or read book Pension Reform and Capital Market Development Feasibility and Impact Preconditions written by Dimitri Vittas and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Private pension funds are neither necessary nor sufficient for capital market development. But if they are subject to conducive regulations, adopt optimizing policies, and operate in a pluralistic structure, they can have a large impact on capital market modernization and development once they reach a critical mass.The link between pension reform and capital market development has become a perennial question, raised every time the potential benefits and preconditions of pension reform are discussed. Vittas asks two questions. First, what are the basic feasibility preconditions for the successful launch of a pension reform program? And second, what are the necessary impact preconditions for the realization of the potential benefits of funded pension plans for capital market development?His main conclusion is that the feasibility preconditions are not as demanding as is sometimes assumed. In contrast, the impact preconditions are more onerous. The most important feasibility precondition is a strong and lasting commitment of the authorities to maintaining macroeconomic and financial stability, fostering a small core of solvent and efficient banks and insurance companies, and creating an effective regulatory and supervisory agency. Opening the domestic banking and insurance markets to foreign participation can easily fulfill the second requirement. The main impact preconditions include the attainment of critical mass; the adoption of conducive regulations, especially on pension fund investments; the pursuit of optimizing policies by the pension funds; and a prevalence of pluralistic structures.Vittas also argues that pension funds are neither necessary nor sufficient for capital market development. Other forces, such as advances in technology, deregulation, privatization, foreign direct investment, and especially regional and global economic integration, may be equally important. But pension funds are critical players in symbiotic finance, the simultaneous and mutually reinforcing presence of many important elements of modern financial systems. They can support the development of factoring, leasing, and venture capital companies, all of which specialize in financing new and expanding small firms.This paper - a product of Finance, Development Research Group - is part of a larger effort in the group to study the impact of institutional investing on capital markets.

Download or read book The End of Finance written by Jan Toporowski and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-03-11 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume develops an original critique of the belief that the present era of finance, where finance markets dominate contemporary capitalist economies, represents the best possible way of organising economic affairs. In fact, it is argued, the ensuing economic instability and inefficiency create the preconditions for the end of the dominance of finance. The End of Finance develops a theory of capital market inflation rooted in the work of Veblen, Kalecki, Keynes and Minsky, demonstrating how it disinclines productive activity on the part of firms, provides only short-term conditions that are propitious for privatisation and distorts monetary policy in the long-term. The author examines the role of pension fund schemes and financial derivatives in transmitting capital market inflation and provides a nuanced analysis of the contradictory role they play in the financial system. Capital market inflation is also examined in its historical context and compared with past inflations, in particular the South Sea and Mississippi Bubbles, which spawned the first financial derivatives, and the first privatisations. This broad historical vision allows us to see these forms of inflation as temporary and provisional in character.

Download or read book Financial Aspects of the United States Pension System written by Zvi Bodie and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides valuable information and analysis to managers, policymakers, and investment counselors in the rapidly expanding field of pension funding. American workers, too, need answers and insights on how to invest their money and plan for their retirement. fifteen of America's leading financial analysts address such pressing questions as -What is the current financial status of the elderly, and how vulnerable are they to inflation? -What is the impact of inflation on the private pension system, and what are the effects of alternative indexing schemes? -What roles can the social security system play in the provision of retirement income? -What is the effect of the tax code and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) on corporate pension policy? -How well funded are corporate pension plans, and is a firm's unfunded pension liability fully reflected in the market value of its common stock? Many of the conclusions these experts reach contradict and challenge popular views, thus providing fertile ground for innovation in pension planning.
