Markets Drop-In: From bonds to equities – The great pensions switch and its risks

Speakers:

US household exposure to equities is at levels not seen in at least 75 years. This extraordinary shift has been driven in part by a pensions industry which has seen a structural loss of appetite for bonds and corresponding rise in demand for equities. What risks does this all pose for market stability?

Chief Markets Economist John Higgins and Head of APAC Markets Thomas Mathews will explore these forces and highlight the key risks around this shift in a special online briefing on Tuesday, 30th September at 09:00 BST/16:00 SGT. During this 20-minute session, they’ll be answering your questions as they address key issues, including: 

  • How demand for long-dated bonds has been shifting in the US and around the world
  • How the shift to defined contribution retirement plans is affecting US equity valuations
  • Whether the US experience could be seen elsewhere in the world
