EPF: Can't be 'too adventurous' in a challenging 2019


Stressing that the EPF is a long-term fund, CEO Tunku Alizakri Alias said that when markets head south, the EPF comes out to hunt.

KUALA LUMPUR: Uncertainties worldwide will be the new norm as businesses adjust into 2019, and as far as the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) is concerned, it is not a time for it to be “too adventurous.”

The social security institution views 2019 to be a challenging year, but it is not all bad news as the EPF deems uncertainties as a doubled-edged sword.
