Accumulated net investment income of Kazakhstanis reached KZT 11.59 trillion 29.05.2025
The net investment income accumulated since 2014 (after the consolidation of pension assets in the UAPF) as of May 1, 2025 amounted to KZT11.59 trillion. Taking into account the benefits paid, the share of accumulated net investment income in the total amount of pension savings of Kazakhstanis as of 01.05.2025 is 39.8%.Thus, investment income forms a significant share in the pension savings of citizens. Over the past 10 years, there has been a significant increase in the efficiency of investing pension funds, which makes it possible to significantly increase the amount of savings of contributors (beneficiaries).Let us remind you that pension savings in Kazakhstan are a strategic long-term investment tool aimed at ensuring the financial stability of citizens during retirement. Thanks to a flexible investment policy and asset diversification, the country's pension system demonstrates long-term sustainable growth and protection from inflation risks. Thus, the profitability of pension assets for individual short-term periods of time is not an indicator of the effectiveness of their management, since income in the form of remuneration for financial instruments and other transactions accrued over a short period of time does not always cover fluctuations in the value of securities and exchange rates for a given period. Therefore, it is advisable to make an objective analysis of the amount of investment income for a period of at least one year.In the context of a constantly changing economic environment, the return on pension assets managed by the NBRK and formed through compulsory, compulsory occupational and voluntary contributions, for the last 12 months as of May 1, 2025, distributed to the accounts of contributors (beneficiaries), amounted to 13.35% with inflation at the rate of 10.70%. The return on pension assets for the same period due to mandatory pension contributions of the employer amounted to 9.03%.In the medium and long term, a positive real (exceeding accumulated inflation) return on pension savings is ensured. Thus, the accumulated investment return from the inception of the funded pension system in 1998 until May 1, 2025, with a cumulative total, amounted to 968.60% with inflation for the entire period of 875.10%.We also remind you that Kazakhstan has a unique guarantee of the safety of compulsory pension contributions, taking into account the inflation rate. In cases of a decrease in profitability in a particular period, which affected the contributor’s accumulated profitability upon the occurrence of the right to benefit payments, compensation for the difference is guaranteed by the state.The entire system of investment management and accounting of pension assets is transparent: each contributor has the opportunity to see their investment income in their personal account on the website enpf.kz or in the mobile application.Information on investment management of UAPF pension assets and on financial instruments in which UAPF pension assets are placed is published on the official website of UAPF (www.enpf.kz) in the section "Statistics and Analytics/Investment Management of Pension Assets".Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/akimat-beyneu/press/news/details/1015154?lang=kk

UAPF JSC (hereinafter referred to as UAPF) presents a report on the management of pension assets by the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan (hereinafter referred to as NBRK) and investment portfolio managers (hereinafter referred to as IPM) on the enpf.kz website in the section "Indicators - Investment activities".

As of this date, UAPF pension assets under the trust management of the NBRK, formed through compulsory pension contributions (hereinafter referred to as CPC), compulsory occupational pension contributions (hereinafter referred to as COPC), voluntary pension contributions (hereinafter referred to as VPC), amounted to about KZT22,630.73 bln[1]. The volume of pension assets formed by employer’s compulsory pension contributions (hereinafter referred to as ECPC), which are in the trust management of the NBRK, is KZT372.84 bln.Pension assets under IPM management amounted to more than KZT62.38 bln. Investment portfolio of pension assets managed by the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan The National Bank, as a trustee of UAPF pension assets, pursues a balanced investment policy: invests in various types of financial instruments by currencies, countries, sectors and issuers.The main areas of investment of pension assets formed through CPC, COPC, VPC, as of May 1, 2025, are as follows: government securities of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan - 43.14%, bonds of quasi-public companies - 9.09%, bonds of second-tier banks of the Republic of Kazakhstan - 3.21%, deposits of the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan - 2.22%, shares and depositary receipts of issuers of the Republic of Kazakhstan - 1.49%, IFOs - 1.37%.The investment portfolio broken down by currencies in which financial instruments acquired through CPC, COPC, VPC are denominated as of May 1, 2025, looks like this: investments in national currency - 59.63%, in US dollars - 40.37%, in other currencies - 0.01% of the pension asset portfolio.From the analysis of the structure of the received income it follows that the income in the form of remuneration on securities, including on placed deposits and reverse repo transactions, amounted to KZT590.71 bln. The market revaluation of securities, foreign currency, on assets under external management was negative. Other income amounted to KZT4.32 bln.Despite short-term fluctuations in profitability, over the past 12 months from May 2024 to April 2025, the amount of accrued investment income amounted to about KZT2.63 trillion, the yield for this period was 13.35% with inflation at 10.70%. ECPC investment areas as of May 1, 2025 are as follows: government securities of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan - 77.98%, repo transactions - 15.94%, NBRK deposits - 6.08%.The investment portfolio at the expense of ECPC includes only financial instruments denominated in national currency.As of May 1, 2025, the yield of ECPC PA over the past 12 months was 9.03%.Let us recall that pension savings are long-term investments. Therefore, it is advisable to analyze the size of investment income for a period of at least one year. In certain periods, a decrease in return may be observed due to the volatility of foreign exchange rates, changes in the market value of financial instruments, as well as the impact of inflation. Diversification of the investment portfolio, when income from some instruments covers temporary losses on others, ensures the safety and stable return on pension savings in the long term. Thus, investment income in dynamics over the past 3 years shows stable growth, the return on pension assets exceeds the inflation rate. A detailed structure of the investment portfolio of financial instruments managed by the NBRK, indicating issuers, and an overview of investment activities are posted on the official website of UAPF.
