The Employees Provident Fund (EPF), established in 1951, is one of the oldest and largest retirement funds in the world. Its purpose has been to be a social security organisation primarily providing retirement benefits for private sector and pensionable employees in Malaysia.
From a modest membership of slightly above 500,000 in 1952, the EPF now maintains the accounts of more than 14 million members with total contributions reaching RM800 billion and total assets under management inching closer to a trillion ringgit.
Over the years, the EPF has proven to be a responsible and efficient custodian of its members' retirement savings, playing a significant role in society by providing a majority of Malaysians or their beneficiaries with a measure of financial protection. Which enables members to attain homes and higher education, and also as a means during retirement, death, disability or when seeking medical treatment.
There are currently more than 5,700 employees that make up the backbone of the EPF. As trustee to members' retirement savings, the espousal of trust-building behaviours, such as leading by example and personal integrity, are aligned across all levels within the EPF.
Impartiality and accountability are crucial to the success of EPF. Our board members assume the responsibility of setting the mission of the company and steering all our actions to adhere to that mission.
