| | Pension Funds and Financial Markets |
| | As a result, the financial assets of pension funds have grown dramatically, and their impact on the world’s financial markets is increasingly attracting the attention of policy-makers. | | | The size of pension funds has also had an impact on the structure of financial markets: countries with large funded pension schemes tend to have highly developed securities markets; in countries with small pension-fund sectors, capital markets are relatively underdeveloped (the equity market in particular). | | | For example, pension funds in Belgium, the United Kingdom and the United States hold the majority of their assets in equities, whereas those in Germany and Italy invest largely in bonds. |

| | Indeed, in a mirror image of the securities fund, it is expected that these two types of fund will spend most of their time investing in derivatives with the occasional foray into the underlying equity or bond. | | | These reports should be sufficient for the fund manager to monitor her positions, for the Chief Investment Officer to monitor the fund management activity, for the Compliance department to check whether the investment guidelines are being obeyed and for the Board to be able to fulfill its statutory obligations of control. | | | The fund manager can effect a transfer out of the US equity market by selling S&P futures contracts, but he would be unwise then to sell the underlying equities as well. |
