In an interview at Expo de Valores 2026, Dominican Republic Pensions Superintendent Francisco A. Torres reported a continued shift in pension fund portfolios toward private-sector investment. Over the past five years, the public-sector share fell from nearly 80% to about 63%, while the private-sector share rose from 8% to 20%, diversifying financing sources and potential returns for more than five million pension system members. The number of investment projects financed by pension assets increased from about 70 to more than 200, including projects in free-trade zones, logistics and property development. Torres said all pension fund investments must be conducted through public offerings, with relevant transaction and ongoing performance information disclosed. Members can also use the Pensions Superintendency's investment map to see where pension assets invested through investment funds are deployed across the country.
