Exposure to Slovenia did not change significantly compared to the end of 2020.
Compared to the end of the year, the share of government bonds maturing in the period under review decreased, while the share of cash and cash equivalents increased.

The decrease in exposure to the banking industry is due to the maturity of deposits and covered bonds.

* Includes direct investments in real estate and property funds. Also included are corporate bonds classified as real estate under GICS.

The share of the investment class represents 85.9% of fixed income investments and is 3.0 percentage points higher than at the end of the previous year.
The decline in A-grades is due to the maturity of government bonds and the downgrading of credit ratings due to the situation with Covid-19; the decrease in the BB rating class is due to the improvement of the credit rating of some Slovenian banks at BBB; as a result, the BBB rating class increased.
The unrated rating increased by 0.9 p.p. compared to the end of the year due to the higher share of cash in the structure of the investment portfolio and is of a short-term nature.
