Investment Policy

Investment Policy

  • Investment Philosophy 

    The SSIF investment philosophy consists of managing the Social Security Corporation’s assets in light of economic indicators, strategic directions, and the Fund’s overall investment policy that is adopted by the SSC Board of Directors and whose implementation is overseen by the Social Security Investment Board. The fund aims to realize meaningful returns on investments within acceptable risk levels, maintain and raise the real value of SSC assets, provide liquidity to finance promising investment opportunities and any other obligations that may arise in the future and adopt best international standards of pension fund management. 

  • Pillars of the investment policy 

    1. Liquidity: the Social Security Investment Fund (SSIF) manages investments within variable liquidity levels and different maturity dates, to avoid a concentration of maturity dates for many investments. In doing so the SSIF ensures the availability the cash flow necessary to finance the Social Security Corporation’s (SSC) liabilities as soon as they become due according to the actuarial studies of the SSC defined in the Assets and Liabilities Committee reports, which are submitted to the Overall Risk Committee of the SSC Board of Directors. The Investment Fund’s assets are distributed in line with these liabilities in terms of due dates, to ensure that the SSIF is able to provide the required funding in time.

  • Objectives of investment 

    1. Maximizing returns consistently with the requirements of actuarial studies conducted by the SSC every three years and adopted by the SSC Board of Directors.

  • Investment decision making mechanism 

    The Fund’s decision making mechanism adopts good governance in making investment decisions. Each investment opportunity is studied separately to ensure that it is consistent with the Fund’s overall investment objectives.
