SINGAPORE - Japan is steering its Government Pension Investment Fund, the world's biggest pension fund, to boost investment in domestic assets, Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama said on Friday.

The fund held almost 294 trillion yen ($1.8 trillion) in assets at the end of March, according to its most recent annual report. That total accounts for $931 billion in foreign assets including $232.1 billion in U.S. Treasuries, according to calculations by Reuters.

Here is a breakdown of its asset allocation. The breakdown includes reserves managed under the pension special account, which differs from totals in final settlement after adjustment for revenues and expenditures:

Market value Allocation

(trillion yen)

Domestic Bonds 80.7 26.91%

Foreign bonds 73.4 24.48%

Domestic equities 71.4 23.81%

Foreign equities 74.4 24.8%
