Fund's operation and investment policy
The mission of the Fund is not just collecting resources, but also their enrichment. The Fund deposits resources from the share of electricity, produced in the NPP and sold in Slovenia, in first-class securities and deposits in commercial banks. Investments must be consistent with the Fund's investment policy, which is adopted yearly and with consent from the Slovenian Government.
In order to assure better safety of its investments, the Fund imposes certain restrictions regarding the investment diversification. Priority is given to investments that guarantee stable growth and resources liquidity. The main criteria are rate of yield and expected safety of each investment. Since 2003 the Fund can also invest resources in the stock of investment firms, in mutual fund points and structured financial products with a guaranteed return.
The main guidelines of the Fund's investment policy are:
- at least 30% of the resources must be in government bonds;
- investments must be diversified in securities from different issuers;
- maximum 5% of investments are allowed to be in securities by the same issuer or issuers connected with that issuer.
The Fund's investment policy-making must always assure the attainment of the minimal long-term operations' goal. It sets the planned annual yield that must be reached to 4.29% real principal growth. The Fund's investment policy is oriented towards reaching adequate safety, profitability and liquidity. It uses investment diversification and expert management of investments to reach stable and profitable investments.
