RE: Annual Mutual Fund Pension Statistics
__________________________________________________________
I enclose a copy of the results of our pilot survey for collection of
annual statistics on retirement assets invested in mutual funds.
Estimates for the various categories of retirement assets were imputed
based on responses from 92 complexes covering 77.74 percent of total industry
assets. Each pension category was estimated separately using other available
information. For some pension categories adequate supplemental information was
unavailable. In these cases, rather than attempting to provide an estimate, data
are presented as received on an "at least" basis.
Please contact Kathy Rabon-Summers at 202/955-3562 or Paul Camarata at
202/955-3572 if you have any questions.
