Meanwhile, the pension fund’s Old Scheme reported an increase of 3.62% year-on-year in total AUM to NT$575 billion as of August 31. Of these, the assets managed by delegated overseas asset managers was up 9.91% year-on-year to NT$90.45 billion. The assets overseen by domestic asset managers shed 12.24% year-on-year to NT$120.49 billion.
LPF’s new and old schemes have combined AUM of NT$1.41 trillion.

The pension fund is looking to diversify its mandates in order to take advantages of market opportunities.
