Pension assets are working for the future: Investment results as of August 1, 2026 28.08.2026
Investment income for contributors is generated through the management of pension assets by the National Bank of Kazakhstan (NBRK) and investment portfolio managers (IPMs).Based on the NBRK's investment activities in managing pension assets formed through compulsory pension contributions (CPCs), compulsory occupational pension contributions (COPCs), and voluntary pension contributions (VPCs), the accrued investment income for the last 12 months from August 2025 to July 2026 amounted to approximately 1.81 trillion tenge, with a return of 7.13% for this period.For pension assets formed through employer’s compulsory pension contributions (ECPCs), accrued investment income as of August 1, 2026, over the last 12 months amounted to 153.93 billion tenge, with a return of 19.12% for this period. It's important to note that the return on pension assets over specific short-term periods is not an indicator of their management effectiveness. An objective analysis of investment income is best performed over a longer period.The accumulated investment return since the inception of the funded pension system in 1998 as of August 1, 2026, was 1,111.11%, with inflation for the entire period at 1,001.29%.As of August 1, 2026, the net investment income earned by the NBRK since April 1, 2014 (following the consolidation of pension assets into the UAPF) exceeded 14.68 trillion tenge. Taking into account benefit payments made, its share of the total pension savings of contributors (beneficiaries) amounts to 41.1%, demonstrating the significant role of investment activity in the structure of citizens' savings.As a reminder, contributors have the right to transfer a portion of their pension assets (currently up to 50% of pension savings from the CPC, COPC, and up to 100% of pension savings from VPC) to a private investment portfolio manager (IPM) that meets the regulator's requirements.Contributors can choose one of three investment portfolios within which the IPM operates:the Ki (12) portfolio is suitable for all investors, regardless of age. The minimum return is calculated over the past 12 months;the Ki (36) portfolio is designed for those with at least three years left until retirement. The minimum return is calculated over a 36-month period;the Ki (60) portfolio is designed for investors with a long-term horizon (more than 13 years until retirement). The minimum return is determined over a 60-month period. The entire investment management and accounting system for pension assets is transparent: each contributor can view their investment income in their personal account on the enpf.kz website or in the mobile app.Information on the investment management of UAPF pension assets, the financial instruments in which UAPF pension assets are invested, and investment results are published on the official UAPF website (www.enpf.kz) in the "Statistics and Analytics/Investment Management of Pension Assets" section, on the invest.enpf.kz portal, and in the Fund's information materials. UAPF was founded on August 22, 2013 on the basis of GNPF APF JSC. The founder and shareholder of the UAPF is the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan represented by the State Institution Committee of State Property and Privatization of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Trust management of UAPF pension assets is carried out by the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan. In accordance with the pension legislation, the UAPF attracts compulsory pension contributions, employer’s compulsory pension contributions, compulsory occupational pension contributions, voluntary pension contributions, as well as carries out enrollment and accounting of voluntary pension contributions formed at the expense of the unclaimed amount of guaranteed compensation for the guaranteed deposit, transferred by the organization carrying out mandatory guarantee of deposits, in accordance with the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On mandatory guarantee of deposits placed in second-tier banks of the Republic of Kazakhstan", ensures the implementation of pension benefits. The Fund also carries out accounting of target assets and target requirements, accounting and crediting of target savings (TS) to target savings accounts, payments of TS to their recipients in bank accounts, accounting for returns of TS in the manner determined by the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan within the framework of the National Fund for Children program (More details at www.enpf.kz) Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/vko-ulken-naryn/press/news/details/1281518?lang=ru

Unified Accumulative Pension Fund JSC (hereinafter referred to as UAPF or the Fund) reminds that it will no longer accept new applications from contributors to transfer pension assets to the investment portfolio manager, Halyk Global Markets JSC (hereinafter referred to as IPM), effective January 1, 2026. This decision was made following the receipt of a notice on December 31, 2025, of the planned termination, effective January 1, 2027, at the initiative of this IPM, of the Pension Asset Trust Management Agreement No. 17/6/18-02-21/P dated February 18, 2021 (hereinafter referred to as the Agreement).At the same time, all pension savings previously transferred to IPM will continue to be managed by Halyk Global Markets JSC under the current terms until they are transferred to the management of the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan. According to the current Rules, the IPM is obligated to fully fulfill its obligations under the Agreement until its termination, including compliance with the approved investment strategy, asset safety requirements, and reporting requirements.After the management period ends, the UAPF returns the pension assets held by the IPM in trust in full, in cash, to the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan (hereinafter, the NBRK). The IPM will fully reimburse any negative balance that may arise. The calculation and timing of the IPM's reimbursement of the negative balance are regulated by Resolution No. 43 of the Board of the Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan for Regulation and Development of the Financial Market dated June 7, 2023.We remind you that contributors have the right (no earlier than one year from the date of transfer of pension savings to the trust management of the IPM) to transfer pension savings to the trust management of the NBRK or another IPM.According to statistics, since the beginning of 2026, 441 pension savings transfers totaling 765.5 million tenge have been made from Halyk Global Markets JSC to other IPMs. During the same period, 881 transfers totaling 1.3 billion tenge were returned to the NBRK's management. Moreover, each IPM contributor could make more than one transfer of their pension savings to other IPMs or to the NBRK's management.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/vko-ulken-naryn/press/news/details/1281519?lang=ru

829 Steps in Vienna – In Memory of the Past and in Support of a Future Free of Nuclear Tests 27.08.2026
Vienna, 26 August 2026 – A symbolic walk of 829 steps was held at the United Nations Office at Vienna to mark the International Day against Nuclear Tests, observed annually on 29 August.The international initiative was organized by Dr. Robert Floyd, Executive Secretary of the Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO), H.E. Mr. Mukhtar Tileuberdi, Permanent Representative of Kazakhstan to the International Organizations in Vienna, and Rebecca Jovin, Chief of the Vienna Office of the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs (UNODA).The meaning of the 829 steps refers to 29 August (08/29), a date that has become a powerful symbol for many of the determination to reject nuclear testing. On 29 August 1949, the Soviet Union conducted its first nuclear test at the Semipalatinsk Test Site. Forty-two years later, on 29 August 1991, Kazakhstan closed the site, where 456 nuclear explosions had been conducted over more than four decades.The Vienna event has launched a series of commemorative events in New York, Geneva and Vienna marking several significant anniversaries: the 35th Anniversary of the closure of the Semipalatinsk Test Site, the 20th Anniversary of the signing of the Treaty on a Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone in Central Asia, and the 30th Anniversary of the opening for signature of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT).The 829 steps in Vienna became a symbol of remembrance and responsibility. They serve as a reminder of the human and environmental cost of nuclear testing while underscoring the need for joint efforts to advance peace and security and build a future free of nuclear tests.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mfa-vienna/press/news/details/1281486?lang=ru
