I am pleased to welcome you to the website of the Social Security Investment Fund (SSIF) of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.  I invite you to acquaint yourselves with the Fund's contribution to economic development in Jordan, in fulfillment of the vision of His Majesty King Abdullah II Bin Al-Hussein.

The Social Security Investment Fund was established to be the specialized investment agency that manages the investment assets of the Social Security Corporation (SSC) professionally, and according to international best practices for managing pension fund and social security assets, taking into account the economic and social situation in Jordan.

SSIF’s management team works to build a specialized investment organization that seeks to employ and manage SSC funds in an efficient manner to maximize investment returns within acceptable risk levels, in accordance with international standards for investment in pension funds and International Financial Reporting Standards.  It is governed by the best corporate governance standards in investment management in terms of management, responsibilities, and powers and decision-making mechanisms that serve the interests of the Social Security beneficiaries.

Hence, I should emphasize that SSIF operates within an integrated system of management, direction and control to ensure the quality, independence and soundness of investment decisions and their implementation.  The Investment Board is subject to the oversight of the SSC Board of Directors, to which regular reports on the Fund’s performance are submitted. 

To ensure that investment decisions are made within adequate controls, relevant policies and procedures were approved by the SSC Board of Directors to control investment decision making.  They include the overall investment policy, instructions for investment decision-making, the functions of different parties concerned with the investment process, ethics of investment work, targets for the investment process, the types of investment instruments and their intended allocation, risks involved in it, and the evaluation of investment performance.  In addition, the Fund is audited by a number of external bodies that include the Audit Bureau and the external auditor.

I hope that you find our website useful. It is designed to be easy and flexible, allowing quick and effective access to information.  We welcome your feedback regarding any suggestions aimed at enriching our website.

Chief Executive Officer of the Social Security Investment Fund
