Australian pension fund Hostplus considers opening cryptocurrency investments to its members

According to ChainCatcher, Hostplus, one of Australia's largest pension funds, is considering adding cryptocurrencies to its investment options. Hostplus manages over AUD 150 billion (approximately USD 105 billion) in assets, and its Chief Investment Officer Sam Sicilia stated that the fund is exploring offering members allocation channels for Bitcoin and other digital assets through its Choiceplus investment option.

Choiceplus allows members to self-manage their retirement savings portfolios, and assets under this option currently account for about 1% of the fund's total assets.
