In the Investment Policy of Gildi’s mutual pension division for 2022, it is proposed to increase the combined significance of stocks and reduce the combined significance of bonds. The ratio of domestic stocks and government bonds is increased from the policy of 2021, but on the other hand, the criteria of the policy for mortgage bonds, corporate bonds and foreign bonds is reduced. However, the emphasis is still on increasing the significance of mortgage bonds and corporate bonds from what is now. Other investments in the strategy include foreign real estate funds and foreign infrastructure funds, as well as foreign hedge funds that are in the process of being redeemed. The policy proposes that the significance of assets in foreign currency will be 39%, and this is unchanged from the previous policy.
