Investment portfolio of pension assets managed by the NBRK
As the fiduciary manager of the UAPF’s pension assets, the NBK pursues a balanced investment policy, investing in various types of financial instruments and diversifying the portfolio across currencies, countries, sectors, and issuers.
According to information provided by the NBK, the primary investment allocations for pension assets derived from CPC, COPC, VPC as of September 1, 2026, are as follows: government securities of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan (43.46%), bonds of quasi-public companies (8.00%), NBRK deposits (3.42%), bonds of second-tier banks of the Republic of Kazakhstan (2.53%), shares and depositary receipts of Kazakhstani issuers (2.14%), foreign government securities (1.75%), and international financial organizations (0.99%).
A total of 37.38% of the assets are invested under an index management strategy. This approach involves constructing an investment portfolio based on a benchmark portfolio—a set of securities reflecting the investor's strategic interests. The benchmark portfolio's return serves as a yardstick for evaluating management performance. The benchmarks used are indices developed and tracked either by leading global financial firms or by the NBRK itself. The NBRK conducts index-based asset management both internally and by engaging foreign asset management firms for specific segments, including sub-portfolios of bonds from developed and emerging markets, corporate bonds, and equities.
The investment portfolio breakdown by currency of denomination for financial instruments acquired using CPC, COPC, VPC as of September 1, 2026, is as follows: investments in the national currency account for 58.99% of the pension asset portfolio, while investments in US dollars account for 41.01%. Investment income generated from securities—including placed deposits and reverse repo transactions—amounted to KZT 1,510.73 billion; income from the market revaluation of securities totaled KZT 119.33 billion; and other income amounted to KZT 3.87 billion.
Market revaluation of foreign currency and assets under external management—including the impact of exchange rate revaluation—resulted in a negative figure.
The accrued investment income for the 12-month period from September 2025 to August 2026 amounted to approximately 1.58 trillion tenge, with a return of 6.17% for the period.
