IMF Working paper-Automatic Adjustment Mechanisms in Asian Pension Systems?

December 13, 2016--Summary: Automatic adjustment mechanisms (AAMs)-rules ensuring that certain characteristics of a pension system respond to demographic, macroeconomic and financial developments, in a predetermined fashion and without the need for additional intervention-have been introduced in many OECD countries to tackle public pension schemes' deteriorating financial sustainability.

Incorporating AAMs-in particular linking retirement age to life expectancy-can be an important part of pension reforms in Asia. If implemented early, AAMs could help prevent the need for sharp adjustments in the future, increase the predictability and inter-generational equity of pension systems and enhance confidence.

December 13, 2016--ETP AUM is up by 14.8% ($439bn).These AUM levels are very close to our 2016 base case year-end projections of $3.46 trillion AUM which we highlighted in our previous publication ("ETF Annual Review & Outlook" published on 21 Jan 2016). Asia-Pac listed ETP assets closed the month at $321.1bn.

Global ETP assets move to $3.4 trillion supported by healthy inflows
Global ETP AUM moved up during last month and closed at $3.42 trillion, supported by healthy inflows and positive markets. On a year-to-date basis global ETP AUM is up by 14.8% ($439bn).These AUM levels are very close to our 2016 base case year-end projections of $3.46 trillion AUM which we highlighted in our previous publication ("ETF Annual Review & Outlook" published on 21 Jan 2016). Asia-Pac listed ETP assets closed the month at $321.1bn. ETPs listed globally (ex-RoW) received strong inflows of +$55.6bn over the last month taking YTD total to over +$300bn. Global YTD flows are also in-line with our 2016 projections of +$335bn (base case) highlighted in previous publication. November inflows were driven by US ETPs bringing in massive +$48.4bn in new money, followed by Europe (+$4.7bn) and Asia-Pac ETPs (+$2.5bn).

Global investor positioning: Broad DM and Europe preferred, EM retreat, Inflows to Japan, outflows from China
Based on November flows to ETFs listed globally with regional focus, Broad (global) DM have been most favored receiving major inflows while Broad (global)EM experienced redemptions. Although both the categories were on top receiving positive flows on YTD basis. Major highlight of the month was DM Europe receiving its first monthly inflows after retreating heavily since January this year. Trump’s unexpected win in the US election has triggered a reassessment of the US and global macro outlook, leading to DM equities rally, and EM sell-off. These trends may continue, but risks remain significant.
