Interest, dividends and securities lending income (net of investing activity expenses of $153 million) was $1.88 billion.

It was reported that the pension fund has earned a total of $940 million in securities lending revenue from the start of its programme in 2002, to the year end of 2012.

In 2012, the pension fund had an average pool of lendable assets of $60.5 billion, with the average use of those assets by borrowers throughout the year standing at 37 percent.
