Daikin Pension Plan

Daikin Pension Plan

Daikin Pension Plan was established in 1934 as the contract-type corporate pension scheme for Daikin Industries. It delivers retirement and welfare benefits to the company's employees in Japan. The plan allocates across real estate, private equity, infrastructure and natural resources, hedge funds and private credit. These holdings target long-term capital appreciation and inflation protection. Geographic exposure spans Japan and international markets. Service providers include The Master Trust Bank of Japan, Custody Bank of Japan, Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank, Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking, Nomura Asset Management, BlackRock, Vanguard and Baillie Gifford. The plan reports approximately 798 million USD in assets. It maintains two philanthropic vehicles: the Daikin Foundation for Contemporary Arts, founded in 1996 to support the National Museum of Art Osaka, and the Daikin Foundation in Okinawa, which funds education and science initiatives. No operational events from the last 24 months are recorded. The plan operates as a captive corporate pension tied directly to Daikin Industries sponsorship, with investment decisions executed through appointed Japanese trust banks and global asset managers.
