23/09/2018 Argaam

 

The market value of Saudi Public Pension Agency’s (PPA) investments stood at SAR 68.5 billion in 2017, with the investment return rising to over 9 percent year-on-year (YoY).

 

The agency, which manages retirement schemes for Saudi nationals, invested in 65 firms, of which 47 were listed on the Saudi Stock Exchange (Tadawul), the PPA said in its annual report.

 

Return on local equities reached 6 percent, backed by the outstanding performance of the agency’s portfolio, as well as its long-term strategic plan that aims to maintain the value of stocks amid stable dividend payments.

 

Last year, the management of the agency’s investments was transferred to Alraidah Investment Co., the investment arm of PPA, to aggrandize returns.

 

In the banking sector, the PPA’s owned the biggest shareholdings in Saudi Investment Bank (SAIB) and Samba Financial Group at 17.32 percent and 15.05 percent, respectively by the end of 2017.
