The gap between Asia's share of global GDP and share
of global financial assets, excluding Japan, actually increased between 2005 and 2015.
On Monday, the fund said its portfolio return was 5.1 percent per annum in U.S. dollar nominal terms over the five years to March 31, 2017, helped by the run - up
in global financial assets, versus 3.7 percent a year ago.
This is a colossal domino, and its fall would be a major game changer across the entire spectrum of
global financial assets.
In the year 2000, the US and Western Europe together controlled 70 % of
global financial assets, but by 2020, it is estimated to fall to 45 %.
