Baby Boomers Forces Fire Sale
Monday, September 6, 2010 12:07Japan’s colossal 117 trillion yen, which equal to GBP900bn, Government Pension Investment Fund is poised for an unprecedented asset sell-off as the nation heads towards a potential retirement crisis.
Over the next few months, the largest pension fund in the world will liquidate more than 4 trillion yen of assets to make its required payments to pensioners as the nation’s population born during the baby boom finanlly hits retirement age.
However, the conservatively managed GPIF is driven by a growing desperation to meet its payout obligations to consider a radical change of tack. It is researching whether it should divert at least part of its huge asset based towards higher-risk venture capital-style investments, unlisted companies and higher-yield infrastructure projects at home and abroad.
