Given the economic slowdown due to the pandemic and governmental decisions to allow pension affiliates to raid their personal accounts to pay their bills and buy food, as well as sharp drops in valuations of Latin currencies, we forecast a loss in AUM in 2020 of roughly 8% in U.S. dollar terms.
The big question is what will happen after 2020? Provided that a second wave of Coronavirus doesn’t continue to stifle economic activity, the private pension fund industries of Latin America (Chile, Mexico, Colombia, and Peru), and the Brazilian corporate and individual retirement markets, should see strong growth.
In terms of cross-border allocations, our report also finds that cross-border allocations should outpace growth of the sector overall, experiencing average annual gains on the order of 12%-13%, compared to 8% for domestic vehicles—cross-border investment by pension managers is estimated to increase to USD 289 billion by 2024.
Where are the opportunities and how should managers partner with pension funds to win mandates? This report answers this question and more. Connect with us for more information.
