Public Investment

Public Investment Corporation (PIC) is a South African state-owned asset manager that manages public-sector pension funds and other government investments. The corporation is headquartered in Pretoria and operates as Africa's largest asset manager by assets under management. PIC primarily manages funds on behalf of the Government Employees Pension Fund (GEPF), which accounts for the majority of its portfolio, alongside other public entities. The corporation invests across multiple asset classes including listed equities, bonds, property and unlisted investments, with a mandate to generate sustainable returns for beneficiaries. PIC plays a significant role in South Africa's capital markets and economic development, often taking strategic stakes in major companies and infrastructure projects. The corporation's investment decisions carry substantial weight in the domestic market given the scale of its assets. PIC operates under governance frameworks set by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority and reports to the Minister of Finance. The corporation was established in 1911 as the Public Debt Commissioners and was reconstituted as the Public Investment Corporation in its current form in 2005.
