Pension expenditure will increase sharply in the decades ahead. Keva, Finland’s largest pension insurer, is responding to this forecast by reviewing and publishing its investment beliefs.
“As a public actor, it is important for Keva to be open and transparent about its operations. We serve 1.2 million public sector employees and pension recipients. By publishing our investment beliefs, we help them and our other stakeholders to understand our investment operations,” says CIO Ari Huotari.
Keva’s investment strategy is based on the structural competitive advantages of a pension fund – a long investment horizon and adequate size – and careful risk management. The pension expenditures to be covered by investments in the decades ahead exceed the current value of the fund. Long-term investment returns are important.
Responsible investment is a strategic issue and inherent to Keva’s mission of ensuring the ability to pay current and future pensions.
In 2017, Keva’s Board of Directors adopted Keva’s Investment Beliefs and Responsible Investment Beliefs, which have now been published online.
