Japan's GPIF, the world’s largest pension fund, is investing ¥50 billion in domestic infrastructure and real estate for the first time.
Japan's Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF), the world’s largest pension fund, is making its first direct investments in domestic alternative assets, allocating ¥50 billion ($340 million) to infrastructure and real estate.
The move marks a shift from relying on external managers, with ¥40 billion going to infrastructure projects like data centers and ¥10 billion to real estate.
The fund remains under its 5% cap on alternatives, with current exposure at 1.6%.
The change aims to diversify holdings and boost returns amid rising demand for yield in real assets, potentially supporting Japan’s domestic infrastructure and property sectors.
