The SSIF investment philosophy consists of managing the Social Security Corporation’s assets in light of economic indicators, strategic directions, and the Fund’s overall investment policy that is adopted by the SSC Board of Directors and whose implementation is overseen by the Social Security Investment Board.  The fund aims to realize meaningful returns on investments within acceptable risk levels, maintain and raise the real value of SSC assets, provide liquidity to finance promising investment opportunities and any other obligations that may arise in the future and adopt best international standards of pension fund management. The Fund mitigates investment risks by diversifying its investment instruments according to strategic asset allocation, taking into consideration the national perspective in implementing its investment policy by investing in national megaprojects with meaningful returns that contribute to economic growth and job creation, particularly in sectors that enhance the added value of the national economy.  Additionally, according to Article 9 - A of the Investment Regulation, the SSC Board of Directors may, on the recommendation of the Investment Board, permit the Fund to invest abroad, subject to approval by the Council of Ministers and based on controls approved by the SSC Board of Directors on the recommendation of the Investment Board and in coordination with the Central Bank of Jordan.
