EPF seeks well-balanced portfolio


Together with China, EPF said, the United States was central to its globally diversified portfolio.

SINGAPORE: The Employees Provident Fund (EPF) is seeking to expand its exposure to other regions to ensure a well-balanced and resilient portfolio.

In common with other major investors, the provident fund is grappling with the uncertainty triggered by US President Donald Trump’s tariffs and policy orders.

In an emailed statement, the fund said the United States remained a critical partner in global trade.

Together with China, it said, the United States was central to its globally diversified portfolio because of the size, liquidity and global influence of the two markets.

It did not provide details on how it was seeking to diversify its holdings.

As of end-2024, the EFP had RM1.25 trillion of investment and its global assets generated 50.3% of its total investment income, while making up 37% of its total portfolio, according to a statement in March. — Reuters
