Pension funds and their operations

The creation and development of pension funds is a new phenomenon in the loan capital market, in the securities market and in general in the credit system of the capitalist countries.

The organizational structure of pension funds differs from the structure of other financial institutions in that it does not provide for joint-stock, cooperative or unit ownership. As a rule, pension funds are created in private corporations that own them, but the pension fund is transferred to commercial banks or insurance companies for management. Such a pension fund is called uninsured. However, if the corporation enters into an agreement with the insurance company to which it transfers insurance premiums and ensures further payment of pensions, the pension fund is called insured.

The basis of passive operations of pension funds are resources coming from corporations, enterprises, as well as contributions from workers and employees. The more powerful and richer the corporation, the smaller the contribution of workers and employees. The peculiarity of the accumulation of capital of pension funds is that it is formed mainly at the expense of contributions from entrepreneurs, workers and employees, accumulated in the same way as in life insurance, for rather long periods and invest these funds in government and private securities. Most of the assets of pension funds are securities of private corporations.

Pension funds managed by banks are widely used by the latter to purchase large blocks of shares in large corporations. This allows you to concentrate in the hands of several funds most of the securities, especially shares.

Along with private pension funds created by private corporations, there are also public ones. They are usually established at the level of the central government or local governments. The basis of the passive operations of these funds are the funds of the budgets of various government levels and the contributions of the workers. Active operations are concentrated mainly in investments in government securities and, to a small extent, in corporate securities. In the activities of state pension funds, there are specific differences across countries in terms of organization, forms of activity and investment of funds.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Mini air conditioner Sony Reon Pocket 5 09.05.2024

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

Light-eating cyborg bacteria 26.08.2017

Scientists from the University of California at Berkeley, USA, have created bacteria that feed on light and contain semiconductor nanocrystals. Cyborg microbes can synthesize various organic compounds, doing it more efficiently than in the process of photosynthesis.

The non-photosynthetic bacteria Moorella thermoacetica, which produce acetic acid from carbon dioxide during respiration, were used in the experiment. The scientists added cadmium and the amino acid cysteine, which contains a sulfur atom, to the nutrient medium on which the microorganisms grew. As a result, cadmium sulfide nanoparticles were formed, functioning as microscopic solar cells.

The hybrid microorganism, designated by the researchers as M.thermoacetica-CdS, is able to synthesize acetic acid from carbon dioxide, water and solar energy. Bacteria can be made to produce nutrients, fuels and plastics using genetic modification, scientists say. At the same time, this technology will be waste-free.

The quantum efficiency of ordinary photosynthesis reaches 30 percent, since it takes only 114 kilocalories (kcal) to assimilate one mole of carbon dioxide, although in reality this consumes an amount of photons containing 381 kcal. In cyborg bacteria, this figure is increased to 80 percent.
