"The company said the new product does not alter how the majority of pension savings are managed. Fixed income instruments, equities and other traditional assets will continue to form the foundation of both mandatory and voluntary pension portfolios. The Bitcoin-linked fund is positioned as an additional option for qualified investors seeking broader portfolio construction rather than a replacement for existing allocations."
"Protección's move follows a similar step by Skandia Administradora de Fondos de Pensiones y Cesantías, which introduced Bitcoin exposure in one of its portfolios in September. With this launch, Protección became the second major pension fund administrator in Colombia to offer clients access to Bitcoin-linked investments. Founded in 1991, AFP Protección manages more than 220 trillion Colombian pesos, or about $55 billion, in assets. The firm serves more than 8.5 million clients across mandatory pension plans, voluntary pension products and severance savings accounts."
AFP Protección will offer a new investment fund providing exposure to Bitcoin to qualified clients. Access will be restricted and available only through a personalized advisory process that evaluates each client's risk profile, with only investors meeting defined criteria allowed to allocate a portion of their portfolios to Bitcoin. The initiative is presented as a diversification option rather than a change to core investment strategy, leaving fixed income, equities and traditional assets as the foundation of mandatory and voluntary pension portfolios. The move follows Skandia's earlier introduction of Bitcoin exposure and positions the fund as an additional option for broader portfolio construction. AFP Protección manages over 220 trillion Colombian pesos and serves more than 8.5 million clients.
