The Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF), the largest public pension fund globally, announced on Tuesday (19th) that it is seeking information regarding illiquid assets to diversify its investment portfolio and promote sustainable investment, in response to economic, social, and technological developments.

According to the announcement, the GPIF is also seeking information on illiquid assets that it has not yet invested in, such as examples of investments in Bitcoin, gold, timberland, and farmland, investment concepts, and basic information on how to incorporate them into the pension fund’s investment portfolio.

Currently, the GPIF’s investments include domestic bonds, domestic stocks, foreign bonds, foreign stocks, private equities, real estate, and infrastructure. Although the pension fund is seeking information on Bitcoin, it does not guarantee that it will choose to invest in this largest global cryptocurrency once the evaluation is completed.
