During the financial turmoil in 2008, the National Pensions Fund seized the opportunity to invest in the stock exchange as the prices of the stocks had gone down substantially. This was seen as an investment strategy to support the stock exchange of Mauritius against a crash. As a communication strategy, it was decided to meet members of the press and to release press communiqués at regular intervals to inform members of the public of the rationale behind the investment decisions and also to provide them with a detailed breakdown of our portfolio.

As a result of the communication strategy mentioned above there is a perception that the Fund is operating in a transparent manner and there are fewer questions regarding investment decisions of the National Pensions Fund.
