5 ABSTRACT RIDDER, Ian Richard de. Administrative costs in pension funds: the impact of fund characteristics Dissertation (Masters in Business Administration) - COPPEAD Graduate School of Business, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Administrative costs per participant vary widely across pension funds, even when economies of scale are considered. Defining potential sources of these costs is important because such costs decrease the rate of return pension funds achieve on their participants assets. Consequently, these costs decrease future pensions. This article seeks to gain a better understanding regarding which other factors impact administrative costs incurred by pension funds using data on over 200 Dutch pension funds concerning the year of The study confirms that scale economies were the most significant indicator of lower administration costs per participant. Furthermore, it is found that the amount of assets per participant held by a fund had a significant positive relation with costs. Comparing the results with prior research from 2004 shows that, although scale increased, administrative costs per participant had risen significantly in the Netherlands, which is counterintuitive. Simultaneously the assets per participant held by funds had risen significantly as well. Therefore, it seems that administrative costs could be more correlated to the value of participants assets than thought before. Comparing the results with Brazilian pension funds, it is found that these were significantly smaller in size, leading to significantly higher administrative costs per participant. Keywords: Pension funds, administrative costs, economies of scale, assets per participant
