EPF's equity investment records growth

 
  Sri Lanka’s largest social security scheme, the Employees Provident Fund‘s (EPF) listed equity investments are now generating growth in market value although there was an unrealised loss in equity investment, analysts divulged.

Market values of investments made by the fund are increasing proportionate to purchased cost of shares in listed equities in the third quarter this year, they said.

The investment policy of the fund is focused on providing a long-term positive real rate of return to the members, a senior Central Bank official said.

The EPF has invested a total of LKR 84.19 billion in these 81 companies.

As at 30 September 2020, the unrealised loss of the listed equity investment portfolio of EPF stood at LKR 20.64 billion.

The highest sum of LKR 448.73 million has been invested in Access Engineering PLC and its market value has increased to LKR 483.28 million by September 30, 2020.
