This is distributed across real estate properties (Rs42.36 billion) and real estate projects (Rs16.20 billion). The real estate investments play a key role in the diversification strategy, providing a hedge against inflation and contributing to the overall stability of the fund.<\/p>\n<p>Equity investments make up a smaller, yet significant, portion of the portfolio, with Rs35.49 billion or 6% allocated to various stocks.<\/p>\n<p>This includes Available-for-Sale Equity worth Rs27.14 billion and Held-for-Trading Equity of Rs8.35 billion. Despite their relatively small proportion, equity investments offer an opportunity for higher returns in the long term.<\/p>\n<p>The total investment income projected for 2025 stands at Rs80.16 billion, a promising indicator of the fund\u2019s future income-generating potential.<\/p>\n<p>The EOBI\u2019s investment strategy continues to emphasise safety and long-term growth, aiming to secure the retirement benefits of millions of workers across Pakistan. By maintaining a diversified portfolio, EOBI ensures that its funds are well-positioned to weather economic fluctuations while delivering reliable returns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD, Nov 19 (APP): The Employees\u2019 Old-Age Benefits Institution (EOBI) has reported a total investment portfolio of Rs 651.03 billion as of October 31, 2025.
