Additional information
Proportion of AUM committed:
All listed equities and corporate bonds we have invested except for long-short funds are included in the interim targets. On the other hand, most of the AUM not included are sovereign bonds and alternative assets since data availability is still a concern. We will continue to review data availability and improvements in methodologies annually.
