Contreras explained that 22% of the pension fund portfolio is in dollars and in February 2022 the peso appreciated against the dollar
He indicated that profitability is above the system’s minimum and there is no longer such a reduction. He added that the interest rate has also risen and the market is paying better.
“Changes in interest rates and variations in the exchange rate impact the prices of financial instruments, affecting their value. On the other hand, it should be noted that these circumstances have not only affected the investments made by the AFPbut to those carried out by financial entities that manage third-party resources, so it is not an exclusive behavior of the pension system ”, specifies the Sipen document delivered to the TSA.
It stands out that the individual capitalization accounts of the acting parties have a positive balance greater than the contributions made during the months elapsed until the August 2022 cutoff, evidencing that the investments of the pension funds have generated favorable returns.
Similarly, they indicate that the accumulated balance of the Individual Capitalization (CCI) of the affiliates has continued to grow despite the fact that, in some cases, contributions have not been received on a constant basis to these accounts, but all the growth of these CCIs is attributed to the return generated by the investments made to favor of the pension fund.
