Reference
The investment philosophy of the Social Security Investment Fund (SSIF) is grounded in its responsibility to manage and invest the assets of the Social Security Corporation through an institutional framework guided by economic indicators, strategic priorities, and the approved general investment policy. This policy is endorsed by the Board of Directors of the Social Security Corporation, while the Investment Board of SSIF oversees its implementation.
Goal
The Fund aims to achieve sustainable and risk-adjusted returns within acceptable risk levels, while preserving and growing the real value of the Corporation’s assets over the long term. It also seeks to maintain adequate liquidity to support promising investment opportunities and meet potential future obligations. In doing so, the Fund adheres to international best practices in pension fund management, enhancing financial sustainability and investment efficiency.
Methodology
The Fund mitigates investment risk through diversification in line with its strategic asset allocation, while also incorporating a national development dimension into its investment policy. This includes investing in economically viable national projects that contribute to economic growth, job creation, and value-added sectors within the Jordanian economy.
