| The article focuses on such an important tendency in the development of the global financial market as financial convergence as a mechanism of competitive struggle among the subjects of various sectors that share certain similarities. The authors present an empirical analysis of the financial convergence of pension funds and insurance corporations in China, the European Union and the Unites States. According to the main hypothesis of the article, institutional investors, irrespective of the country of origin, have to conduct financial convergence due to a number of external factors, which leads to a high degree of convergence in the sphere of insurance. Current pension reforms conducted in various countries unify requirements to both segments of the market and lead to greater rapprochement between pension funds and insurance corporations | Key words: financial convergence, institutional investors, pension funds, insurance corporations, reserves, assets | Pages: 102 - 106 |
