Gilad Pension Fund
Gilad Pension Fund was established in 1960 by Shaul Yahalom, who remains Chairman. It originated to serve employees of Bar-Ilan University, Mizrahi Bank, kibbutzim and private colleges within Israel's religious Zionist community. The fund allocates across buyouts, venture, secondaries and co-investments. Confirmed holdings include a stake in Dalia Power Energies, the country's largest private power plant, a founding position in Menivim REIT on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, and limited partner commitments to ALTO Real Estate Funds, Apollo Global Management, i3 Equity Partners and Ogen Social Loan Fund. Geographic reach centers on Israel with additional exposure to the United States. Assets total 3.2 billion USD. The firm maintains its headquarters in the Migdal Kashret HaYishuv tower in Bnei Brak and belongs to the Israeli Institutional Investors Association and Israel Hedge Funds Association. In November 2024 it participated as a speaker at the IHFA 11th Annual Conference. The fund's structure separates the legacy pension vehicle from the newer entity sold to Harel Insurance, preserving distinct governance for the original religious-community mandate.
