The Social Security System (SSS) has entrusted BDO Unibank Inc. with its Balanced Fund mandate, strengthening a partnership aimed at safeguarding and growing members’ contributions for long-term financial sustainability.

The ceremonial signing was led by Robert Joseph Montes de Claro, President and CEO of SSS, and Nestor V. Tan, President and CEO of BDO. The two leaders underscored the shared mission of ensuring pension adequacy and supporting national development.

“Entrusting this fund to BDO reflects our confidence in their capability to grow and safeguard our members’ contributions,” de Claro said, noting BDO’s proven expertise in responsible fund stewardship.

Tan, for his part, emphasized the importance of the mandate: “This is a responsibility to help secure the future of Filipino retirees. BDO is committed to managing this fund with prudence, transparency, and integrity.”
