The Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) on Wednesday affirmed the actuarial soundness and financial strength of its investment portfolio, including its recent stake in DigiPlus Interactive Corp., amid public scrutiny over the state-owned firm’s investment choices.
In a statement, GSIS emphasized that its Social Insurance Fund remains “strong, secure, and actuarially sound,” citing ₱1.88 trillion in total assets and a ₱76.82 billion net operating income as of June 2025 — a 31 percent year-on-year increase. The state-run pension fund also reported a consistent 5-year average return on investment of 6.75 percent.
GSIS welcomed the oversight from various sectors and reaffirmed its commitment to transparency, accountability, and fiduciary duty. It said it is prepared to present all relevant documents and data to the appropriate authorities, pledging full cooperation with regulators.
While asserting the financial prudence of its investment decisions, GSIS acknowledged the corporate and ethical concerns raised by stakeholders, particularly regarding exposure to sensitive industries like gaming. In response, the institution announced a comprehensive review of its charter, investment policies, and risk thresholds to ensure alignment with evolving member expectations and ethical standards.
