LarrainVial expects a 'marginally favourable' impact on the local market by switching from multi-fund to generational funds

The Chilean Superintendence of Pensions published a proposal for a new investment regime under the pension reform, which would replace the current multi-fund system with a generation-based fund system. This change would assign younger individuals to higher-risk funds while older individuals would be placed in more conservative funds. LarrainVial, a financial services firm, analyzed potential impacts of this transition, stating it could be 'marginally favorable' for the local stock market and sovereign bonds. They noted that increased contributions from the reform could lead to a positive impact across all asset classes. However, they acknowledged uncertainty regarding the effect on the Chilean peso. The analysis also highlighted reduced flexibility in foreign investments under the new system.
