Art. 3 Asset management
1 Each social security fund has its own segregated pool of assets within the Institution. These are managed jointly. 2 A separate investment and risk profile is to be defined for each social security fund. 3 As a rule, the assets of the social security funds are jointly invested. The share of each social security fund in the jointly invested assets and in the return on investment is determined by the degree to which it participates in the individual investments. 4 The assets of the social security funds must be managed in such a manner that each social security fund is guaranteed the best possible relationship between security and achieving a return consistent with market conditions in accordance with its investment and risk profile. 5 Each social security fund must retain sufficient liquidity at all times in order that the compensation offices: a. may be paid the clearing balances in their favour; and b. may receive the advances required to provide the statutory benefits under the OAS
