ATP is an active, long-term, fundamentals-based manager which allocates assets among domestic and foreign bonds, equities, real estate and infrastructure in order to generate as high a return as possible for the pensioners. In addition to ensuring high returns, the firm also invests based on a philosophy of social responsibility in investments. This means that ATP only invests in companies that comply with legislation and international conventions. The way ATP invests includes the following four key elements: (1) hedging of the interest rate risk on pension commitments; (2) effective risk diversification of return on the investment portfolio must be stable and as independent of the business cycle as possible. Therefore, ATP spreads the risk as effectively as possible around four risk factors; (3) focus on strong investment processes; and (4) appropriate level of risk are regularly adjusted in relation to the size of ATP's reserves.
