Array of Object - divide information as per values in it

I have an array of Objects:

const array = [ {
            "Type": "DefinedBenefitPension",
            "Description": null,
            "Year": 2016,
            "Participants": 9.0,
            "TotalAssets": 6668305.0,
            "NetAssets": 6668305.0,
            "PlanName": null
        },
        {
            "Type": "DefinedContributionPension",
            "Description": null,
            "Year": 2016,
            "Participants": 72.0,
            "TotalAssets": 17230395.0,
            "NetAssets": 17230395.0,
            "PlanName": null
        },
        {
            "Type": "DefinedBenefitPension",
            "Description": null,
            "Year": 2017,
            "Participants": 7.0,
            "TotalAssets": 2096999.0,
            "NetAssets": 2096999.0,
            "PlanName": null
        }...
    ];

This is just a small piece of data. There are a lot of different types (not only DefinedBenefitPension and DefinedContributionPension). I made an array with all unique types:

const uniquePensionTypes = data => {
    const unique = [...new Set(data.map(plan => plan.Type))];
    return unique;
};

Where I pass the original array as data. Now I need to divide Participants and TotalAssets as per same types. From this example I need to have arrays called definedBenefitPension 

DefinedBenefitPensionParticipants = [9,7]
DefinedContributionPensionParticipants = [72]

How can I do that?

If data is the whole array of objects.

data.reduce( ( resObj, item ) => ({
  ...resObj,
  [ item.Type ]: [
    ...( resObj[ item.Type ] || [] ),
    item.Participants
  ]
}), {})

This will give you an object like

{
    DefinedBenefitPension:[9,7],
    DefinedContributionPension:[72]
}
