Investment of Pension Funds (Defined Contribution Plans)

The manner in which assets are invested, and the way the investments are managed and supervised by the plan administrator are crucial to the success of the pension fund and delivery of the pension promise. The investment management function should be undertaken in accordance with the prudential principles of security and liquidity, using appropriate risk management concepts. The plan must also invest in accordance with Schedule III of the PBSR.
