MALAYSIA: The Employees Provident Fund reported an 18.32% year-on-year growth in investment income to RM6.8 billion (US$2.1 billion) for the third quarter ended the 30th September 2011.
However, income from money market instruments declined by RM98.71 million (US$31 million) to RM109.97 million (US$34 million) during the period, due to a shift in allocation to higher yielding and long-term assets, including global Sukuk, to optimize returns.
