EPF Q1 income rises 9.2%


Shahril: The EPF has managed to record consistent performance in the quarter, driven by domestic and Asean markets, which recorded positive growth.

KUALA LUMPUR: The Employees Provident Fund (EPF) reported a 9.2% increase in quarterly total investment income of RM12.88bil for the first quarter ended March 31 (Q1’18), with equities accounting for nearly 62% but it remains cautious on the outlook for the year due to increased global trade tensions and weaknesses in key emerging countries.
