Malaysia’s Employees Provident Fund (EPF) is working to pursue more opportunistic co-investments and local direct deals to improve its risk-return profile, according to the deputy chief executive for investment at EPF . As the rate of the Malaysian ringgit stabilises, it also aims to scale up its global investments to bolster overall portfolio returns.
EPF allocates 2 percent of its overall MYR759.8 billion ($180 billion; €152 billion) assets to private equity but wants to increase this figure to 5 percent to increase portfolio diversification.
