Provided that the risk taken commensurate with the returns. Using the OPR as the index is not exactly a sound benchmark. Maybe a mixture of KLCI and KLIBOR with considerations on age bands and account types would make a better benchmark.

Anyway, the returns all these years don't really tell you much about KWSP's actual investment activities. I would prefer a tad more transparency anytime.

Look at the bright side at least the 4.5% dividend declared by EPF is better then Fixed Deposit Rate.

Very interesting post.
By international standard, 4.5% return for 2008 sound pretty good. Even considering low risk investments. So KWSP apparently held itself pretty well...

What's more worrying is your opening at the end... And we are not the only one worrying:
