€108 million gross return on investment in the H1 2021

Kosovo Pension Savings Trust achieved a very satisfactory performance in the first half of this year. The gross return on investment for the period January-June 2021 reached the value +108 million Euros, while the Fund assets increased by 177 million euros, reaching 2.17 billion Euros.

This positive performance is a result from both the assessment of financial markets and the decision making by the KPST in tactical allocation during this period. This year, the institution has streamlined the investments in new financial instruments in order to give more diversity, and consequently distribution of investment risk, aiming at the highest possible return.

At the same time, investments in Kosovo have continued mainly in Government securities and bank deposits, where these investments at the end of the six months period were around 568 million Euros. As stated earlier, the KPST constantly aims to increase investment within the country.

With this result the KPST has reached about 660 million gross return on investment since its establishment.

Also during this six months period, the process of withdrawing 10% was successfully completed, where 427,363 contributors applied and over 198 million euros were withdrawn, with an average profit of 24.2%.
