About this data
The Institutional Investors’ Indicators table shows total financial assets and liabilities of the three types of institutional investor - investment funds, insurance corporations and pension funds - as a percentage of GDP. It also provides a breakdown of the total assets (liabilities) of each type of institutional investor by main financial instrument category: currency and deposits; debt securities; loans; equity and investment fund shares; insurance, pensions and standardised guarantees; financial derivatives and employee stock options; and other accounts receivable/payable. The financial instrument categories are shown as a share (percentage) of the total assets (liabilities) of each type of institutional investor. For investment funds, there is also a breakdown of total assets by type of investment fund: real estate, equity, bond, mixed, hedge and other funds; and a breakdown of total assets and liabilities by whether they belong to money market funds (MMFs) or non-MMFs and to open-ended or closed-ended funds. All the indicators in this dataset are derived from the Institutional Investors' Assets and Liabilities dataset.
