Sustainable investment
The objective of Elo’s investment operations is to ensure the profitable, secure and responsible investment of employment pension assets. The fundamental idea is to operate so as to generate the best possible return on funded pension assets. Employment pension assets are invested in compliance with the company’s strategy and policy. The responsibility for pension assets extends forward for decades. Elo’s principles for responsible investing are also based on corporate social responsibility: our accountability to policyholders and the insured. The investment process is independent, autonomous and focused on the long term.
The market value of Elo’s investments was EUR 30 billion at the end of 2023. The return on investments was 6.0 per cent. The solvency ratio was 121.3 per cent and solvency capital was 1.5 times the solvency limit.
