Total value of AUM by the government pension investment fund Japan 2015-2022
By the second quarter of 2022, the assets under management (AUM) by the Japanese Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF) had increased by roughly 57 trillion Japanese yen since 2015. With a current total of 192.1 trillion yen in assets, the GPIF is among the world's top-ranking public pension funds. Located in Tokyo, Japan, the GPIF was established to manage assets on behalf of the state with the primary goal being to generate returns for state pensions. Due to the fund's purpose, public pension funds often follow a lower-risk strategy, splitting assets among securities such as bonds, real estate, and index funds. Recently, many pension funds have also turned to alternative investments such as hedge funds and commodities.
