Pension plans are facing challenges not seen in the global economy in decades as they feel the effects of the pandemic, global conflicts, supply chain disruptions and a reversal of the trend toward globalization. These developments have brought higher levels of inflation, rising interest rates and greater uncertainty in economic conditions, while life expectancies continue to rise and populations age. All these pressures are occurring at a time when individuals are taking on more responsibility as the prevalence of defined contribution (DC) arrangements continue to increase around the world.

Strong equity returns in 2021 slowed down by inflation, which is here to stay How much did pension savers earn on average? In this report, we aim to provide pension comparisons on every front possible. The aggregate summary return tables compare the annual average rates of returns between occupational/collective (Pillar II) pension schemes and between voluntary/individual ones (Pillar III) on 5 periods: 1, 3, 7, 10 years. These standardised periods eliminate inception and market timing biases, allowing to “purely” compare performances between different pension schemes. For information purposes, we also show the average return since data is available (last column).

América Latina y el Caribe se encuentra en un proceso acelerado de envejecimiento, por lo que resulta urgente que cada persona esté consciente sobre los retos que enfrentará durante su vejez. Sin embargo, para muchos no es nada sencillo pensar en ello en un contexto de dificultades económicas y con empleos informales. Esto puede convertirse en un problema social de primer orden para las próximas décadas. Conseguir que más personas cumplan sus buenos propósitos y logren ahorrar para garantizarse una vida digna en la vejez ha sido la razón de ser del Laboratorio de Ahorro para el Retiro del BID, un proyecto que, en los últimos cinco años, ha puesto en marcha diferentes iniciativas innovadoras para conseguir que los trabajadores, especialmente los independientes y de bajos ingresos, se preparen para su retiro.
