Aging demographics throughout the developed nations are causing a steep decline in the ratio of workers to retirees. Combined with the current global financial crisis affecting all investors, retiree’s may be forced to liquidate much of their remaining capital while alive and in doing so, super wealthy families, sovereign funds and developing countries in the East will buy up a larger portion of the retiree’s assets resulting in a massive transfer of capital ownership to the developing world.

Financial Executives International hosts Jonathan Wellum. Jonathan’s presentation will focus on the impact this transfer of wealth have on our political and economic structures including the cost of capital and the required rates of return on long term capital.
