This database on asset-backed pensions is based on data collected through the OECD Global Pension Statistics exercise. Data come from various administrative sources, mainly: pension supervisory authorities, financial market authorities, ministries of finance, or national statistical offices. Data cover all asset-backed pension arrangements where assets are accumulated to back future benefit payments, except reserves of public (pay-as-you-go) pension arrangements. Asset-backed pension plans may be financed through different vehicles (such as pension funds, pension insurance contracts, bank or investment company managed funds), publicly or privately administered, mandatory or voluntary, occupational or personal, defined benefit (DB) or defined contribution (DC), for public or private-sector workers. Employers’ book reserves are also in the scope. This database includes various statistics and indicators on asset-backed pensions such as the amount of assets earmarked for retirement, the liabilities of pension providers, their revenues, their expenditure, the number of funds and plans, as well as plan membership. These statistics and indicators can be split by type of financing vehicle and type of plan.
