caption_attribution_description: English: This bubble map shows the global distribution of pension funds in 2005 as a percentage of the top market (USA - $12,318,811,000,000). This map is consistent with incomplete set of data too as long as the top market is known. It resolves the accessibility issues faced by colour-coded maps that may not be properly rendered in old computer screens. Data was extracted on 1st July 2007 from http://www.oecd.org/document/46/0,3343,en_2649_34853_36091822_1_1_1_1,00.html Based on :Image:BlankMap-World.png
context_page_description: A pension fund, also known as a superannuation fund in some countries, is any plan, fund, or scheme which provides retirement income.
  Pension funds typically have large amounts of money to invest and are the major investors in listed and private companies. They are especially important to the stock market where large institutional investors dominate. The largest 300 pension funds collectively hold about $6 trillion in assets. In January 2008, The Economist reported that Morgan Stanley estimates that pension funds worldwide hold over US$20 trillion in assets, the largest for any category of investor ahead of mutual funds, insurance companies, currency reserves, sovereign wealth funds, hedge funds, or private equity.
  The Federal Old-age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund is the world's largest public pension fund which oversees $2.72 trillion USD in assets.
