The Social Security Board is reporting record levels of investment across multiple portfolios and has indicated that it will continue to strengthen the fund. This update came from General Manager for Finance, Leo Vasquez, who says SSB’s investment strategy has expanded significantly in recent months, positioning the board for long-term sustainability and growth. According to Vasquez, by the end of 2025, the SSB recorded a gross investment portfolio valued at approximately five hundred and twenty-five million dollars. He added that in just the past five and a half months, the Board has injected an additional one hundred and thirty million dollars into various investment opportunities.
Leo Vasquez, General Manager (Finance): “525 is our gross number. With these, with additional 130 our current portfolio is as of right now 654 in terms of gross. And the utility is really the BWS and the BEL, GOB Securities because we are invested in term deposits. The 97.2 is in BTL. We have other term investments at Atlantic, Heritage. And of course 83.2, you’ve seen there, is new for us in terms of the hydro bonds and shares. Okay, and down the line. So that’s 654 is where we are right now. We have a couple investments in the pipeline. So when you come back and talk maybe next year we would like to talk in about 700 million plus in terms of investment portfolio that is where we will need that to augment the contributions revenue. So that’s 15% I spoke about earlier. We want higher incomes to be a greater share than the 15% trend around the 20%.”
Love News understands that SSB’s investments span key sectors of the economy, including energy, financial institutions, and national infrastructure.
