6 Since the creation of the pension system, CONSAR has set four basic investment goals Security of resources Provide better pensions Promote financial market depth Contribute to economic growth Diversify investment portfolios Promote sustainable high yields Financial innovation, more liquidity and better price formation Promote productivity and finance projects 6

7 With these goals in mind, CONSAR has made gradual but significant adjustments to the investment regime throughout 15 years of the system 1998 Federal Government securities 2001 Derivatives and Securities Lending 2002 Value at Risk (VaR) 2005 Foreign securities and equity 2007 Structured Instruments (ad hoc Private Equity Funds and Real Estate Trusts) Basic Pension Funds. Net Return Index 2010 IPOs and subordinated debt 2011 New eligible countries. Commodities. Mandates (segregated accounts) Conditional VaR to control derivatives. 4 Basic Pension Funds + Pay-out Fund. 7

8 The current investment regime authorizes asset classes and set up investment limits 8

9 Current investment opportunities comprise the majority of asset classes used by international pension funds Currently there are six asset classes: Asset classes allowed within the Investment Regime of Pension Funds Debt P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P Currencies P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P Equity O O O O O O O O P P P P P P P P Structured Securities: CKDs (Mexican Private Equity) y FIBRAS (Mexican REITs) O O O O O O O O O O P P P P P P Securitizations O O O O O O O O O O P P P P P P Commodities O O O O O O O O O O O O O O P P Within each asset class, restrictions have been relaxed: international stock picking (thru mandates), international debt with investment grade, relaxed issuer limits for debt, etc. 9

27 Main Challenges Corporate Governance Create incentives for sustainable and consistent fund performance Professionalization of committees and officers of the Afore Development of the financial markets Encourage the formation of prices, liquidity and market depth Facilitate access to financial markets for new issuers Increase the variety of available investment tools 27
