Abstract: Abstract: The focus of this study is on the interrelations between ageing societies and capital markets. In this context, a number of interesting questions arise, which this study discusses: What is the future role of capital markets for old‐age provisions? Which investment alternatives will gain importance? How will savings in general be affected? What is the impact on securities prices? How likely is a so‐called asset meltdown (i.e. a rapid fall in securities prices due to a withdrawal of assets by the retiring baby‐boomer generation)? Can international diversification help to mitigate such negative effects? Our study is based on a survey among financial experts. Their assessment of the effects of ageing societies on capital markets is presented and discussed.
