The OECD Institutional Investors Statistics provide annual and quarterly data running from 1980 onwards, covering a unique set of statistics that reflect the level and structure of the financial assets of institutional investors (investment funds, insurance companies and pension funds) in the OECD countries, and in the Russian Federation. Concepts and definitions are predominantly based on the System of National Accounts and are derived from national sources. Indicators are presented as percentages of GDP allowing for international comparisons, and at country level, both in national currency and as percentages of total financial assets of the investor. These data were first provided by the UK Data Service in April 2015. The UK Data Service web site includes further information on the OECD Institutional Investors Statistics holdings, including a dataset user guide and details of latest database updates.
