The Saudi Public Pension Agency (PPA) has issued its annual investment report for 2019, which showed the distribution of its investments locally and internationally.
Investments in developed markets stocks accounted for the highest 24.8% of total investments, followed by Saudi stocks with 20%.
PPA stated that the rate of return on its investments reached 12% during 2019.
PPA manages its investments through long-term policies, which contributes to achieving meaningful returns on investment within acceptable levels of risk and preserving the real value of assets and developing them.
Among the most important investment policies; the policy of distributing assets between diverse investment tools, geographical regions, and currencies in a manner that reduces the overall risks of its investment portfolio.
PPA focuses on local investments as much as possible, it noted.
The Saudi agency adopts conservative investment policies with calculated risks, and does not invest in prohibited activities.
It also takes into account that there is sufficient liquidity to meet all obligations when due, and to finance promising investment opportunities.
On a regular basis, PPA prepares a study of the strategic distribution of assets, in order to keep pace with investment developments in the financial markets and future expectations, and to achieve the best returns within an appropriate level of risk.
This study determines the target weights of asset classes, and the extent of investment vehicles’ diversity.

Last year, PPA had invested in 67 Tadawul-listed firms, three real estate funds and 19 unlisted companies.
In May 2019, the agency transferred shares from its investment portfolio to its investment arm Al Ra’idah Investment Co. in order to maximize its return on investments.
The move didn’t mean PPA was selling its assets, it said, adding that it’s only enabling Al Ra’idah to sufficiently manage the investments.
PPA invested in 3 new listed firms distributed across 3 sectors, and one unlisted firm during the past year.
