Summary/Abstract: The essential increase of the old-dependency ratio requires changes in retirement system which have been introduced in OECD countries for 20 years now. The aim of our research is comparison of the performance of the pension fund markets in selected European countries and the USA. Investigation is provided using OECD data from the years 2002-2013. To evaluate the investment efficiency in these states we apply the following measures: Sharpe and Treynor ratios, excess return information ratio, and Jensen alpha. We present some proposals of the benchmark construction.
