Abstract

[fre] Cet article tente d'évaluer l'état actuel et les perspectives futures de la gestion privée des retraites en Europe Continentale, en mettant un accent particulier sur la nature de la concurrence entre les gestionnaires d'actifs. Les aspects industriels de la gestion d'actifs sont présentés dans la première partie, tandis que la deuxième partie fournit des données sur les actifs des fonds de pension en Europe, considérés dans le contexte plus large des investissements institutionnels et de la structure financière globale. Dans les troisième et quatrième parties, nous examinons la situation actuelle sur les marchés « de gros » et « de détail » de la gestion d'actifs en Europe Continentale. Dans la cinquième partie, nous examinons les pressions futures exercées sur les fonds de gestion des retraites en Europe Continentale. . Classification JEL : C22, C23, H55, J26 [eng] The European pension management industry . This paper seeks to assess the current status and future prospects for private pension management in Continental Europe, with a particular focus on the nature of competition among managers of pension assets. It is shown that the pension fund sectors are relatively small and the industry to date has tended to be oligopolistic and segmented on a national basis. This situation has tended to lead to higher prices and lower returns than could otherwise be obtained. Regulatory, fiscal and demand-side differences are at the time of writing holding-back a Pan European asset management market, despite three years of EMU. Nevertheless, future pressures are likely to induce greater competition, notably on a cross border basis. These include not only evolving effects of EMU itself but also the indirect effects on asset management via banking, EU Directives and the further pressures for pension reform. . JEL classification : C22, C23, H55, J26
