      —Arun Muralidhar, Co-founder, Mcube Investment Technologies, Pension Expert (3 books)

      “Amlan has been pioneering the link between demographics and financial markets at least since our days together at Credit Suisse in London 20 years ago. The accumulated knowledge that Amlan has gathered throughout his career is collated for the first time in this ground-breaking book, along with all the painstaking data-driven evidence, charts, and trend analyses that built up his reputation as a top-notch applied financial economist over the years, crossing over geographies: a must-read for all professional investors, and a source of inspiration for academics.”

      —Olivier Ledoit, Senior Research Associate, Department of Economics, University of Zurich

      “Demographics remains one of the most important and under-appreciated areas of inquiry. This well-researched book provides a clear understanding of precisely how demographic data can serve as a crystal ball into the future. Carefully researched and very accessible, it is a must-read for anybody looking to understand what lies ahead for economy and society.”

      —Ranjay Gulati, Harvard Business School, Paul Lawrence MBA, and Class of 1942 Professor

      —Dirk Broeders, Professor of Pension Finance, Maastricht University, Netherlands

      “As you step away from the noise of daily market fluctuations it is of paramount importance to consider how demographic changes will affect the long run macroenvironment and influence the risk/return prospects of financial assets. Amlan's book is a must-read for asset allocators and long-term investors.”

      —Mirko Cardinale, Head of Investment Strategy, USS Investment Management, London

      “This book is a must-read for economists and finance analysts, both academics and practitioners. The book is very well written by an expert on the subject of demographics (a mega trend) and dispels certain misconceptions.”

      —Tom A. Fearnley, Investment Director, Norwegian Ministry of Finance, Asset Management

      “Roy is uniquely equipped with the knowledge and insight required to understand the complex aspects of demographic dynamics. If this book will be widely read, there is hope we will cope better with demographic changes than we do today.”

      —Theo Kocken, Founder, Cardano Group; and Professor of Risk Management, VU University, Netherlands

      “Often overlooked, demographic factors are the hidden hand behind economics and asset prices. Dr. Roy provides valuable insights on how demographic factors should be incorporated into investment decisions by asset owners, particularly those in the life and pensions space.”

      —Hemal Popat, Investment Actuary, Mercer Investments

      “Understanding the far-reaching effects of demographics on economic activity and financial markets is vital, and there is no better guide than Amlan Roy; this book is an important resource for those who wish to understand the interactions in all their complexity.”

      —Richard Lacaille, Global Head of ESG, State Street Corp; and Former Global CIO, SSGA

      “Demography affects many facets of economic life, yet its influence is widely under-appreciated. Written by an acknowledged expert and based on a lifetime of study, Roy's book masterfully explains just why demography is so important to our future prospects.”

      —Professor Sir Charles Bean, LSE; and Former Deputy Governor, Bank of England

      “A very thorough and detailed account of many challenges facing both researchers and market practitioners in addressing difficult macroeconomic developments of modern times.

A must-read for students, policy makers and investment professionals interested in the intersection of demographics, macroeconomics and asset management.”
