Japan pension fund weighs boosting alternative investments to 5 percent from 1.7 percent
Japan\'s government is pushing a plan to gradually raise the Government Pension Investment Fund\'s allocation to alternative investments to about 5 percent from 1.7 percent, with the recommendation to be reflected in the next GPIF policy report. The shift could move billions of dollars into private equity, private credit, real estate and infrastructure. The government is also urging bigger domestic investment by public pension funds, amid stronger GDP data and a policy backdrop of higher inflation forecasts and recent rate hikes.
