Profile

The Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF) states that it has been established on the following investment principles:

The overarching goal should be achieve the investment returns required for the public pension system with minimal risks, solely for the benefit of pension recipients from a long-term perspective, thereby contributing to the stability of the system.
The primary investment strategy should be diversification by asset class, region, and timeframe. While acknowledging fluctuations of market prices in the short term, we shall achieve investment returns in a more stable and efficient manner by taking advantage of our long-term investment horizon, whilst at the same time we shall secure sufficient liquidity to pay pension benefits.
We formulate the policy asset mix, and manage and control risks at the levels of the overall asset portfolio, each asset class, and each asset manager. We employ both passive and active investments to benchmark returns (i.e. average market returns) set for each asset class, while seeking untapped profitable investment opportunities.
By fulfilling our responsibilities, we shall continue to maximise medium-to long-term equity investment returns for the benefit of pension recipients.

In August 2023 the GPIF reported a record quarterly profit of ¥18.98 trillion ($133.2 billion). This strong performance was attributed to high global stock performance and the weakness of the Japanese Yen which increased overseas returns. ^[3]

Collaboration

The GPIF has diversified investments with the following external asset management institutions:
